Perry, OK, I'll try and easyplex it to you, though I have never done that before, so it may take me a couple of tries. I'm going to try and set it up so you can call the program, ( called CEDIntf) so that you can pass it any number of par, and it will tell CED to do certain things, depending on the number you pass it. For example, CEDintf 1 3 might compile the file being edited, and then load the resulting error file int CED, in a small view at the bottom, and then go to each error in the source file Of course , this would be for Lattice, as that is what I use; But I then want upload CEDointf, and the source to the PD, and then somone else could add more functions, so CEDIntf 9 10 might tell the Manx compile to do the same thing. I am also going to try and see if I can't get it to create temporary buffers for files, so you can have a file in mem, but not in a current view. That's one of the major complaints that I have with CED. ALL files must be in a view. Sometimes I like to have a file out there, loaded and just switch back and forth I guess that's the way the Emacs editor I used to use worked, and I got used to it. Other than that, and a few minor thing, I like CED a lot. It's very flexible, powerful, without being unweildy. I havent found any feature's I nedd that arent there, and lots I like that I didn't expect( like text formatting). Thansk for taking the time, I appreciate it!
