Good Text Editor for Euphoria

If anyone is still looking for a good text editor to try out I've had 
great success with the Nirvana Text Editor or NEdit.  It has a default 
Euphoria syntax hilighting rules which you can change to meet your 
needs.  Syntax hilighting is fairly easy in NEdit if you know your 
regular expression rules. If anyone wants to use the rules I wrote just 
let me know and I can email 'em or post 'em here.

A program called Expander can be used with NEdit to allow expansion of 
language specific keywords.  As one example for the Euphoria language I 
have defined an expansion for the if keyword.  So when I type:  
"if<F6>". it will expand to:
  if ( |><| ) then
     |><|
  end if
(The |><| are fields that you jump to.)  I could go on about its 
features but you might do better by going to www.nedit.org and reading 
all about both programs there.

They have versions for almost every OS that you can think of so you 
won't have to go away empty handed.

Well that's my two cents...
