In SEU I always used C for scrolling mode. that way I could easily scroll to wherever I wanted. Don't print source, too easy to just scroll to the appropriate place. It would be nice to have an auto-formatter in WDSC for RPG. I like that feature in other languages. That way I don't have to worry about the indenting being wrong. I can just reformat, and it fixes things. Keeps everything consistent. At some point there was a feature that would draw the lines for you. Maybe that was the CODE editor. Thought it was WDSC, but I can't find that feature any more.

That's why I (as per my rant of many months ago) can't understand why
anybody would want the SEU scrolling mode set on "F" instead of "H": it
seems like if I'm in "F," I always seem, unless I explicitly ask for a
particular starting line, to find the block of code I want split between
two pages.

Likewise, even if I'm working on Java code in Eclipse or JBuilder, I
find myself printing out a lot of hardcopy, simply so I have something
on which to scribble changes, notes, nesting analysis lines, and so forth.
