        Hey, you were 11 when I was born. ;)


        I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well. -jhaga on non-native languages

                  My fav is SciTE It's open source, lightweight yet powerful, has advanced hotkeys such as ctrl-f3, or ctrl-f2, syntax colouring for a pile of languages. In short, it rocks. :-D

                    TextPad[^] for sure. It loads quickly, has all the options I need and a whole lot more. Also there is seems to be sytaxx definition for every single file type on the planet available for easy download. Joel Holdsworth

                      Actually, I was quite proficient with it. I remember starting it up, making a change to a source file, exiting, and starting a compile, all in the typeahead buffer. Of course, if I really wanted to brag, I could mention my blistering speed on the IBM model 29 keypunch machine.

I still have a couple of LK-250 and an LK-450 keyboards for the PC that I finally retired a year or two ago. There were a couple of companies that wrote EDT emulators for the PC, but that was back in the Win3.1 days. The best feature was the extensive use of the keypad. It's a shame that the keypad is so useless for editing these days. It was really nice to be able to reach over and tap Gold,SelectLine,Cut on the keypad, rather than having to do an Shift+End+DownArrow+Ctrl+C (just an arcane hypothetical example :)) with both hands to select a line of text.
