Ooops, sorry. I didn't mean to imply that it was a final, well tested fix,
just that I had identified where the slowdown appeared to be coming from. If
Judith has tested my other 'improvements', she'll discover that they are
equally buggy (but still cool!).

I'll have a look at it.

I *suspect* releasing the focus flag before scolling will take care of this.
I'm sure there are other bugs lurking as well.

Yeah, it actually becomes quite usable. As I mentioned before, I think it's
a better route to take than to try hacking the same functionality into an
RTF control. If the new features ever get sufficiently debugged and
released, you'll see why.

The editor routine is stand-alone, so at some point I'll probably rip it out
of the IDE and incorporate it into the 'generic' editor.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
