Hi, Now here is an option: Lemmy... It is a WIN95 based editor which emulates the vi editor...I believe you can color coat your scripting with this program. Once you are done with writing the program in Lemmy transfer it to your bsd box. I don't have the url for lemmy on me right now...sorry. Hope this helps, Tony ---Evgeny Roubinchtein <eroubinc@u.washington.edu> wrote: > > On Sun, 27 Dec 1998, K.
