Certainly not gedit as it has an incurable tendency to move arbitrary blocks of code around in the file so its been nuked from all of my systems. gedit is a very capable editor, capable of wrecking 2 years work. I've sorted that pan of scrambled eggs, 1000 LOC, several times too many, even resorting to getting last nights backup out to recover. I now use nano or geany if a gui is available, which so far has Just Worked(TM). It does do some C style code checking, matching brackets etc type stuff, but I've found highlighting words only usefull by the spell checkers. As for LCNC, I wish the highliteing of the line being processed in it lower code display wasn't greyed out as it is now, but displayed in bold text. Trying to read the greyed out text is getting difficult with my cataracts thrown in. perhaps you could do something about that? And we are off-topic, again. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
