Yes switching it off, is not realy a great help though, the thing is it is a really simple
change to make to have a per-directory sesion, I just stored the configuration in
the dirctory I was working in and then read it back in when I restarted. Obvioulsy you
could store the info elsewhere, but it makes life a lot easier if you are working on several 'projects'.
Some might even call it 'object orientated
So it can. Thanks for that, I guess I will have to read the manual sometime, although it does not appear to have one. Unfortunately it does not work too well if you try and paste
past the end of the line, but that is due to the way a lot of editors work if you click past the
end of the line, they put the cursor at the end of the line, not where you clicked. Mine,
of course would back fill with spaces so if I pasted past the end of the line the column
would remain vertical.
Yes, I was not suggesting it didin't, maybe it sounded like that though.
I imagine mine were better though
Yes, that is what I said, mine actually would not do that, I guess you would need to periodically test the file or something like that. A slight nusiance is that it asks you if
you want to reload the file, I would rather do this automatically, or at least have an option
to set it to reload changed files automatically, obviously it might be unwanted in some
situations.
I will have a look at all the suggestions and see which is most suitable although I think it
will take me a while to do that, some require you to install various bits and pieces as well.
As to writing another text editor, I will give that a miss I think, I might have a go at doing
something with the one I wrote before, I just remembered I think I have it on a floppy disk somewhere!!! However it was written for unix using the 'cursors' package, so I would need
to find a winidows equivilant of that. It was stuff like this:-

But I think I will give it a miss actually. Notepad++, is pretty good in many respects but occasionally I would like to have more than two 'windows' visable.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
By the way, I at least I don't have to use the vBulletin editor, as you can see I tend to struggle with that, as you can see by the line lengths etc...!!
