"Everything" is user configurable in ME, so if you don't like the native behavior, it's very easy to change it. I have done a lot of changes myself. All the changes is saved into one singe file, which I copy from PC to PC.

>>>Remember that some editors are handy for down and dirty editing especially in an interactive environment (like Web Connection code behind editing). The reason the VFP editor is not adequate there is that it locks files and so files cannot be read while the file is open in the editor.
