Dan,

Some of us already do.  I started using Flex/Edit (the original DOS-OS/2
version) back in '92.  When I came here last year I had to switch from Flex
to Code/400, but that wasn't too bad.  The main difference between SEU and,
say, Data General's old NSPEED, to me, is that I can start SEU up when I
feel nostalgic. <grin>

And all of you who complain about RLU - try Flex/Designer or Code/400 DSU
and you won't much care about RLU any more.
