  So, use another editor for those bizarre things.

  Nah, it just makes it easier for him to use all those really evil-looking
build scripts. :)

  I've been using my Edit-16 2.0 now for several weeks (I had a head-start
as a beta tester :-) and find it very useful except for two things:
  it doesn't have shift-block-left/shift-block-right commands like the
     ORCA editor (it's a very nice feature)
  the way the cursor wraps to the previous line when you backspace from the
     first character in a line is annoying because it doesn't do the same
     thing moving towards the right.
