Actually, CODE is an adequate editor.  Many who write in C/C++ just use a 
text editor, esp. one that can color-code keywords and strings, etc. 
TextPad can do this, CodeWright, IBM's own ez editor from the Andrew 
toolkit that's part of the Developer Tools PRPQ.

Now Visual C++, from Microsoft, does a lot more, including auto-completion, 
as y'all are getting to some extent. And parameter and member listings for 
structs, etc. And this is without having to bring up a browser display - 
it's in the IDE.

One thing I really am surprised about is the absence of the Run-Time 
Library Reference in the documentation.  I mean, no help for malloc? for 
memcpy? I will make a wish list item of this stuff at the WDSC site.

Thanks again
