I'm utterly fed up with the editro under MPW. Does anyone know how to replace it? I would be happy to write an editor that had the right interfaces, but the fact that I need to reach for the mouse for every typo that I notice on the next line up is making me crazy. Jon

Well, PrEditor is supposed to work with MPW, but I don't understand your problem -- the arrow keys will move you around without going for the mouse. If you have the Extended Keyboard (or the third-party equivalent), the Page Up, Page Down, etc all work as well.

I think that Earle Horton did the port (sorry if I'm wrong, Earle) and it was done well. I do not know the archive site that it's located at (I want it too!). It has not been meshed into the supported distribution of ME yet but the authors will probably do so by the next release. If you like VI instead, there is SteVIe, a VI clone. Source is available. I don't know if it's been ported to the Mac. Jon, I have MPW 3.1 and agree with you. I'm used to Brief on DOS and Crisp 1.9 on Unix and would choose Emacs over the MPW editor any day. They should put a nice C or lisp-like macro language into it so we could customize it to our liking. ------------------------------------- Steve Hite ...gatech!uflorida!unf7!hite386!steve
