I would prefer the default tool for editor files to be C:M2A. The whole point
in the HOT mode is to get the editor loaded and then keep the small activator
where you can get at it fast. In my case I keep M2A in RAD:C which is my C:.
(Actually its in RAD:Bin which i link to RAD:C with Bill Hawes Path device,
that way I know RAD:C has C-A programs ONLY, RAD:BIN has everybody else, and
they both look like C: !!)
I would like changeable editor configurations, Could you have M2(A|E) look in
the directory of the file being loaded for an M2.editconfig and use that for
that file. That way the default configuration for M2, my consulting reports,
and my son's grade school reports can all be different!
Similarly I would like options for loading different completion/case correction
files. I haven't used M2E for much REXX or any C programming yet but I know I
will need to. ( base development in M2, tools in M2 or Rexx, delivery to
customer in C …. )
Finally consider saving the configuration used to edit a document in the icon
file as Notepad does (this is one thing Notepad does right). That way
individual documents can be fully configured and you have an extremely flexible
editing system.
In the compiler, TDIs used to let one compile an implementation module all the
way to a stand alone executable. This was very convenient when knocking up
quick test drivers for a new module, just put them in the initialization code.
The new compiler doesn't support this.
its nice to use as it is, these things would make it very smooth.
