Notepad++ is probably the best of the free/OSS editors; however, I don't know if it supports syntax highlighting for MIF. This may not matter to you, but it does make life easier when editing files. If you can spare a few dollars, TextPad is a good editor and does have syntax highlighting for M

Notepad++ does not have syntax highlighting for MIF. It's hard to find user-created syntax highlighting for Notepad++ unless it's a very popular syntax. I don't imagine anyone has defined MIF in their spare time. I forgot to mention Subline Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/), a very popular edi

I like to use my cursor keys to scroll from table to table, and putting each table anchor in its own paragraph lets me do that.

If you're talking about doing a find and replace across a .book with none of the .fm files open, my impression is that it iterates through the files as follows: - create .lck file - read file into memory - make changes - write to disk - delete .lck file I think that's one of those FM features tha

For the registers, we list all the table names as active links in a table upfront. But if I am simply scanning through the tables, I find it easier to use the cursor button than the mouse wheel. Your mileage may, of course, vary. There are also places where a brief paragraph introduces a set of ta
