What does it do?

This is the type, class member and whanot listing as you type feature right? Very cool stuff. I liked it in VB.

What I really thought was great about the editor were things like column selects, and regexp support in the find feature. Just felt nice to have these gadgets. the editor 'e' has them, but I only have used the dos version, it didn't port to windows very well I have been told. so I only use it for, well column selects, and regexp search and replace *bg*

hehe I know how that feels. I finally started reading the VC++6 programmer's guide--my wife bought it for me for xmas last year, but everything else pushed it aside. I used the O'reilly book Practical C++ programming three or four years ago to learn the language (I used Turbo c++ 4 under win3.1).

That is what kicked off my current career in computing (I had pascal, basic, and C classes in High School but that was a long time ago), even though I never worked with C++, it got me into everything else. And I think its good to know, like for reading the API.

Anyway, I am digressing. :)

Later,
Bill
