I like EE, since it works almost exactly like QBasic does, and I started programming using QBasic. There are just two things I find annoying about ED: 1) The cursor always moves to the beginning of the line each time you change lines. That confused me at first because no editor I have ever used did that. 2) The cut and past method I don't really like to trust. Because you just delete the code, what if you do a different type of delete by accident before you pasted something? Hasn't happened to me because I was paranoid and very careful, but I like not having to worry about that. (I like confirmation that something has been accomplished. That's one reason I like the way the text gets unselected after a copy in EE.) Everything else in EE is fine. (Okay, the color scheme may need a little work... But that's easy to fix.) _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
