- Well, perhaps I'm spoiled by having worked in MCL for a while now, but in
- playing with THINK C lately I've been consistently dissapointed off by the
- weak editor. It doesn't know anything about coding, really. I mean, it
- won't match parentheses, it hardly does any indentation, it has very few
- searching commands, it has no concept of a word or an expression, so you
- can't do nice things like control-rightarrow to skip an entire word or
- expression. It's basically teach-text.
-
- So the question is: is there any way to *not* use this editor and
- substitute some other one in some smooth way? I'd rather not run MPW or
- MCL all the time, just for the editor.
