Re: PDM/SEU

1: "ring"   You can have as many panels open as you like and alt-left and 
alt-right around the ring from one to the other.  These panels can be 
browse session or indented source for instance.

2: indented source on-the-fly for if-ends

3:Full on-line searchable help, including the charts and images.

4:better debugger.  A panel with your watched fields is constantly open, 
showing the values. 

5:error listing panel is a joy to use.  the errors are listed, you click 
on the error, it takes you to the line of code, you fix it, and the error 
list has a check mark.  If fixing that error fixed other errors too, then 
all those other lines now have a check mark too.

6:I haven't figured out how to use it yet but there is a "project" option 
that appears to keep all the stuff in one group together.  It looks useful 
if i could figure it out.

Can you send us some of those "_much_ better alternatives"? 

I tried some other editors, and still admire the design of SEU.  They
may be good for beginers, but in my experience, even though beginers
feel more at home with graphical interfaces, they still can't design a
good application. 

Beautifull graphics are no substitute for study and experience.
