Agreed. Nonetheless, *having support* for the external editor *is* pretty good
a feature. If TB had DDE support, it would be possible to use it with WinEdt if
one so wished (WinEdt supports scripting and DDE in full). I have it
configured with Pegasus (which does DDE, but only server-type currently)

Use WinEdt (www.winedt.com). Gotta like it;-) The scripting is all there. The
only problem it support regexps of Delphi syntax, *not* in that of the Perl's,
although this is likely to be changed in the *nearest* future.

Exactly my point;-)

www.winedt.com;-) Again;-) And this *only* requires that DDE support
(client/server) be available in TB!
