Precisely.  I've enjoyed intelligent tabbing since Flex/Edit for DOS days, which
I think was 1991.  For sure by 1992.  And that is just *one* of the benefits of
a good, extensible, RPG-aware editor.

And therein lies the reason why it seems people have been very slow to adopt a
worsktation-based editor (be it CODE or Flex/Edit or Code Studio or whatever).

You need a paradigm shift in *how* you edit, taking advantage of what the editor
will do for you.  I switched to a PC editor back in 1990 for S/36 and AS/400
work, and never regretted it.

Alas, I may have to eventually switch from Flex/Edit to CODE, though I prefer
the CodeWright engine to LPEX.  I'm probably one of the last die-hard users
still using Flex.  But CODE is improving and Flex isn't, so the handwriting is
on the wall.
