Roger, I played around a little with P-9, I think v1.4 or so. I was thinking of
using it for Basic programming (ISTR you said it could be used for that), much
like I currently use a tabbed text editor... *but*... the IDE is not well
suited to basic programming, at least with long lines. I'd suggest an 80 column
line-wrap mode that ignores spaces (as opposed to word-wrap). You know, like
the original. (or have you already done some such?)

As I recall, there was no wrapping at all and a basic line of 200+ characters
is not fun to work with that way. And don't say use shorter lines... the main
FOG module is already strapped for memory. Just my $.02

I intend to start working more with assembler soon (making FOG a bit more of a
hybrid), and plan to use P-9 when I do.

Take care,
Bob
