I'm not very sure when a multiple code editor can be ready. It may be some
time. In the next 0.18.6p release I've added a view of the codebase for user
to copy from or just to see the entire code. This might help some but not
much.

The problem with getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName is that the Dialog
returns the error. I do not do that so I do not have time to attach the ext.

Ah. I suppose so. However, if they are not Euphoria files, you would be
wasting time waiting for the file to be parsed.

Yes.
