No offense taken. I'll see if I can find any more about the Interlisp-D structure editor... but again it's possible that its virtues are in my imagination, the products wishful false memory. I guess what I was getting at, though, is that while I appreciate structure-oriented editing conceptually, and would love to have structure-oriented editing support, that's a different beast from "partial yet mandatory," structure-based editing that prevents one from typing free-form when one wants to. I'm pretty sure I'll always prefer free-form text editing (with auto-indenting and syntax coloring and sure, structure-based commands that are available but not mandatory) to the partial, mandatory type of system. > BTW, if you feel like you could help improve the documentation of some > parts of ccw on the wiki or the Eclipse online help, you're very > welcome :-) I will try to do so as I become more confident that I know what I'm talking about!
