Anyhoo...

This caused an inordinate amount of grief with ee/linux. Highlit background
colors don't work (for the moment). The current colors are a compromise -
not beatiful, but OK. The pushbutton shadows went away (more graphic
characters), and a lot of the clean lines and cues disappear.
But I'm pretty pleased with the editor. I knew it was getting close to
release when I'd forget which one I was using. In the latest version that's
posted, the corrections were made under Linux using the ee - pretty cool.

I added one optimization, where I removed a screen refresh when a file
loads. A lot of that sort of stuff is a lot more obvious with the slower
screen writes. There are some places where you can see the cursor flying
around, but I'm pretty impressed by the speed, since I don't have hardware
writes. Then again, I'm running it on a Pentium.

For the moment, it's a bit spartan under Linux. That's because you can't
read the keyboard or mouse stated. Robert has mentioned that he'll try to
add some more keyboard and mouse support. Woe to those who make it a habit
of typing Ctrl+C to cut text!

And I am grateful that other people have put the time and effort into making
them better.

The KDE folks have been pretty good about internationalizing *all* their
applications. I mention this primarily because it reminds me that I have
yet to add internationalization support to Llama.
