Terry,

Oh don't sweat about Booth, he's OK, just drinks too much coffee! :)  BTW he's 
like
some of us who have had our tongue in our cheek for so long it'll have to be
surgically removed...we'll go to your place for that.

Supporting multiple sites we wind up with PDM/SEU as low common denominator and 
I've
learned to like the pain.  My only wish is that if I browse a second member 
that I
could edit it at the same time.  Sometimes when I'm looking up a panel on a 
display
file while editing the program I spot something that needs cleaning up..sure 
would be
nice to do while it's on my mind instead of having to remember to get back to 
it.

I haven't been convinced that it's money well spent for CODE/400 or Flex Edit.  
Have
trialed both and maybe if I gave them (or was given) more time I would switch 
and sell
the sites on the savings.  Haven't seen it.

I remember some story about a really big company having an official looking 
person
walking around the slave pit with a light meter then changing all of the 
fluorescent
lights.  Productivity went up.  For a while.  The perception that the employer 
was
doing something for the workers made the workers feel better.  Placebo effect.  
Until
I can get the editor to write code for me, it just changes how I type, not how 
much I
type.  I'll pass on the placebo, thank you.

Now if one is working on a really bogged down system and want's to offload 
editing at
their company provided 486/66 which can take full advantage of their blinding 
fast
typing ability.....(tongue...cheek...coffee...:)
