LOL!  Well, one thing this has done.  It's brought me out of semi-lurk
mode.  <grin>

I agree that would be nice.  Instead of browsing a second member
within SEU, I usually use a separate session.  That way I can edit it
if I want to.

If a system is so bogged down that a programmer running an editor is
causing a performance problem, the company probably needs a larger
