The problem is necessarily dynamic vs static, but rather a language with a BNF compared to a language without. By BNF I actually mean a set of rules by which to parse (BNF actually being the rules in a particular format). Much of most modern IDE capabilities are hindered by not being able to parse the code. >> I am using Emacs for almost 20 years now but it lacks good XS support. Emacs has worked pretty well for me so far. I tried other IDEs, and I found most of the to be clunky and too window based. I find I'm most productive when I use Emacs. -wjt
