I lived with it. However, when I went to vim, I found out that it will automatically indent braces and code properly. I thought, "Gee, that's nice. Save me some work". But as it turns out, it's saved me a lot of debug time. When the indenting goes wonky in vim, I know I've failed to close a brace somewhere, or put too many in. It has about the same benefit to me as syntax highlighting (which ensures I don't misspell key words). Paul -- Paul M.
