Is there a way to work on some place in the Think C editor, scroll to the
the top change a couple things and return to the previous place easily.
Currently, I just guesstimate the position in the scroll bar and/or use
multiple search commands.
Is there something like the mark/unmark command in MPW or the push point
in jove. If there isn't sure would be a nice feature to add. Or in
fact it would be great if the editor could have plug modules where we could
add what ever feature we want. For example, if I wanted the editor to be
like jove or EMACS I would plug in the jove module. And like magic I would
have an instant jove editor inside think c.

There is an INIT called PopUpFuncs which lets you scroll, via a title-bar-click pop-up menu, to any function in the file, but that's not quite what you want. I have written an INIT called Kiss which adds some keyboard commands to Think's editor, like page-up and forward-delete, and Mark will probably be in the next version. If anyone would like a beta copy, let me know. >... it would be great if the editor could have plug modules where we could >add what ever feature we want.

A project I'd like to write, but won't have time for until at least June, is to extend Kiss to be a full-fledged extensible extender, allowing others to write plug-in CODE modules which would get a chance to act on each event. Or Symantec could provide the same sort of hooks for macros in the next version of Think C... are you listening, Rich? >patrick wong | McGill University | \\// >monching@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca | School of Computer Science | || > | Montreal, Quebec | -- "I had no idea so many people in the United States and Canada were tying each other up.

I would like to get pointers enabling me to obtain either of the above-mentioned INITs. More generally, I'll bet there is a whole slew of useful programming tools which I have not heard about in spite of all the money burning holes in my pocket. What say you, netoids? Steve Upstill
