Specially GoFish for which I wrongly thought is an outside executable written in something else.

I'm a tool writer myself (internally, though, not much that can be shared, everything is either without proper GUI or too tangled with the framework), so I remembered how some colleagues never touched some tools because the first versions I gave them to try were buggy. So I decided to do the courtesy that I didn't get (until I was the boss :), so I gave it a try. Out of dozens of tools in Thor, I'm using only a few - PEM editor (not too often), GoFish, super browse and a couple of editor shortcuts (declare locals, find locals). And that's more than enough for me - saves me a bunch of time every day.

You make assumptions which are totally wrong, You wrote "And it integrates to deep for my taste." The only thing Thor really does, is to create a few _screen.properties. These properties are code executed via Execscript. Apart from these changes, nothing "mysterious" is really going on. And to start Thor, you run only one line of code, "Do RunThor.prg". So if you don't run this one line, your installation remains unchanged.

Your negativeness to Thor reminds me of the people who used to ask "How do I turn of this damned Intellisense thing, it makes me crazy". I suggest that you give it a try. If you don't like it, just delete the Thor folders, and you are back where you started.
