I assume most people are using Microsoft C (?).  For people with 6.0 or
any preceding version that had the programmer's workbench (PWB)
integrated environment, are you using it, and if so, are you running it
under windows and if so, are you running windows in the cool-but-slower 
386-only mode or in standard mode?

Apparently the PWB help system can read the SDK help files.  Can Windows
read the Microsoft C help files?

The way I feel about it right now, I'm just going to run make and a crummy vi
clone in a DOS shell-in-a-window until I get a windows-based editor I really
like.  Then maybe use file manager to launch the make (?).  I tried it, it
was OK.  

There seems to be a lot of overhead in the DOS shell, like keypresses
in the DOS shell window (I've changed the PIF to make it run in a window)
appears to slow down the concurrent downloading or uploading of files from
the terminal program.  Maybe a shell that was written to look like the DOS
shell but that was designed to run under Windows would help.  Clearly, that
would be Microsoft's province...
