IDE Editor Fix

Here's a small fix for the IDE Editor that should speed it up quite a bit:
In IDE_EDIT.EW, in the routines vscroll_Scroll and hscroll_Scroll, change
the code:

   setFocus( mle )
   editorDraw()

to:

   if not hasFocus then
      setFocus( mle )
      editorDraw()
   end if

This prevents the scrollbar from repainting the window if it doesn't have
focus. You should find the editor changes from slug-slow to nice and
responsive, no matter what size the window is.

There are compelling reasons to use an emulated editor, instead of a hacked
RTF control. Besides being more responsive and unlimited in size, it lends
itself to adding such nice things as context-sensitive hints. I'll look into
adding something like this.
