]Alt-h I love the way, new features still appear after 20 yr usage.. Smart provision of menues is a winning formula. I can't understand why structured-editors for various languages are not available/popular. Or even [like mcedit & more so vim has syntax hi-liteing] why you can't you just 'pick/select' the constructs for various languages. Eg. -> pick language = forth; pick file action = load FileId to screen; == places the 'command' at the cursor, and a menu for args. ...etc. And related to this, especially for forth: the reversed dictionhary to help 'decode' existing code. All of this done by menues. When I go back to a seldom used language: pop-11, forth ..etc., I can't get up to speed. But if I do a spreadsheet after 2-years, I can immediately continue with good [enough] fluency. Because spreadsheet-working is menu-driven. And related to this [especially for forth] a reverse dictionary would help decoding existing source. My main language/OS: ETH-oberon is fully menu driven, but in a different way. You look for the string anywhere on the screen. Which you may have previously arranged in/as a menu.. You don't remember the command or file name, you navigate to a written copy of it and just clux it when you see/recognise it. If you eg. want to open a new file called 'spreadsheett' since that name is vissible here-now; just clux it. Where clux is the appropriate mouse-chording, which is reflexive - like riding a bicycle. == Chris Glur. PS. posting from gmail is real crap. But I subscribed from gmail because it blocks the spam. PSS. what we really need is the command/s to create a split viewer for mcedit, so that <F3> [lynx-view] of a *.html can show 3 views together, to eg. 1. read the description; 2. read/cut the corresponding URL, 80 lines down at the bottom of the file, 3. paste the URL to a different file -- all without switching between views. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
