I also missed the DM editor and the ability to write DM scripts. And I miss the edit pad - the first time I was able to do a rectangular cut/paste/move. And I loved the ability to place the cursor beyond the current end of a line and start typing (without clicking the mouse!). I hate having to hold down the space bar, adding blanks, to get out to the column I want (suppose your coding conventions disallow tabs). -- DE
