Suggestion for correcting the IDE's script editor

[Bob Warren]

Dear Paul,

Thanks for your feedback. The problem with describing a set of very simple
manual operations is that when you write the details down, it seems very
complicated. We have all had the experience of trying to learn how to
operate a new VCR for example using the manual! In fact, my suggestion has
absolutely nothing to do with bunches of obscure commands or dubious
shortcuts, and you seem to have missed the point of the description
completely. It is simply a description of how the editor could be
programmed internally, and for anyone who is interested it would be better
to see it at work in VB6.

But now I have the impression that my description was so poor that it was
open to misinterpretation, so if you don't mind I'll post this e-mail to the
List so that others can be a bit clearer on what I was trying to suggest.

Regards,
Bob Warren

Yes, why complicate the script editor with a bunch of obscure commands
and dubious "shortcuts"?

  Sorry Paul, perhaps I am a bit slow (old age), but could you explain
what you meant a little more fully?

 Regards,
 Bob

  Well, this would certainly get people to read the manual before
attempting to use the editor!
