survey: improving the script editor

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Hi everyone, 

As I am planning also a replacement for the RR Script Editor, it would be 
nice if some 
guidelines or provisions for a plug-in could be made available...

This would reduce the amount of work and possible errors while providing 
many more
options for the users. 

I've tried the RR editor and Im definitely not as happy as with my own. It 
has lots of nice
features compared to the lame MC editor. But I've put in many more...

I've added lots and lots of features (like breakpoints moving along with 
your 
script editing, line numbers, auto-completion, grep-searching (grep 
replace to come), 
coloring, superb-indexes for functions, handlers, variables, structures, 
etc... Non-transcript
function lookup, Balancing, auto-completion, type-ahead, editable Script 
and GUI colors. 
To name a few ;)

I've based most of the scripts on MC's engine though. I checked the RR 
engine and lots of 
changes are due... And if something goes wrong, it would be nice to avoid 
the installation
tortures of MC. 

Thanks for any suggestions or help!

An update on this

I learned from Geoff that Runrev has a slew of impressive features 
planned for their builtin IDE script editor, so I decided to focus on 
idea a) above.

I am an Emacs nut, so this is the better scenario anyways. If there are 
any lisp programmers wanting to conspire on a xtalk-mode for Emacs, 
contact me. I've begun a xtalk-mode, but am learning lisp as I go.

Thanks,
