I have a couple of questions about the LSP editor.
- Is there any plans to make it support arrow keys? This would
be extremely convient
- Is there any plans to include support for user definable
macros? (as in MEdit) This would be extremely useful to
do things like define keys to produce comment blocks
and other standard structures.

I respond:
Does "making the editor more flexible" mean nice things like not being forced
to put braces around each comment line, and telling the editor that you
would rather it put BEGIN at the end of the line instead of on a line all
by itself? If not, please consider both suggestions. Thanks.

Does making the editor more flexible also mean being able to turn on/off
the syntax checking at will so that non-Pascal files can be edited too.
Also it would be nice to turn it off when some wicked editing of a Pascal
routine needs to be done, and then turn it on when complete to see if
everything was done correctly.

I don't think it will be possible to turn off the editor completely. Usually what I do when I need to edit a non-Pascal file (C source, or generic textfile) I use a desk accessory text editor, like AppleEdit... > Also it would be nice to turn it off when some wicked editing of a Pascal > routine needs to be done, and then turn it on when complete to see if > everything was done correctly. Again, I'm not sure that you'll be able to toggle the editor in and out at random.
