[... rest deleted ...] I am assuming you mean 'runs OK in a PM window' when you say '(non-text mode)' here. I know Breif runs OK in a PM window, but it incorrectly assumes it has 80x24 or 80x44 to display things in. If you are truely desparate, you could hack on the EMACS source a bit (or a LOT :-)) to make it conform to PM. Sorry I can't think of any other editors which cut the mustard. There must be ONE SOMEWHERE, so I guess I'll just read the news along with you and see if any good suggestions come along. Oh - If you get Email responses please post a summary to the net and maybe tell of your experience in finding such an editor. -- Mark C.

The only editor I have seen for PM is the System Editor that is bundled with OS/2 1.2 SE. While it's "cute" and good for hacking batch files or munging your CONFIG.SYS file, etc. It's a rather poor editor for programming. (no macros, no brac and bracket matching, etc.) I have a rather ugly (codewise) port of MicroEMACS 3.10 which runs in a pm window, although I am working towards getting a PM version of it running. When I do, I will send the code to Dan Lawrence and let him distribute as he sees fit. ( I really hope nobody else is doing the same thing, it's a lot of work! :) Cheers!
