For those of you that find the E language interesting but aren't sure
of it yet, as I am, you may want to wait on deciding about it for
another week or so.  At that time I should have an alpha version of a
major-mode for emacs that helps programming in E.  The major mode will
provide automatic uppercase for keywords (although not, at least for
now, for assembly mnemonics) and automatic indentation.  This should
solve most of the problems with keyword case.

To get around having only one source file, I suggest that you try
using the folding minor mode for emacs.  This will allow you to
logically structure the single input file.  For those who are
interested, folding-mode is available at archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
somewhere in the directory tree /pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive.

E is a very interesting language, and it does seem handy for low level
programming.  I really wish I could use more than one source file too.
Even if the compiler just provided a way to include files into the one
main file for compilation.  Maybe when modules are implemented this
will be better...
