I think it is a good idea to start some sort of distributed development
of a programmable windows editor. We should form a small group
talking about possible designs by looking at a few programmable
editors. I would suggest looking at

	SPRINT from Borland,
	LPEX (live parsing editor) from IBM,
	EDOR (mainframe editor) from Siemens/GMD

But if there is any commercial developement under way, I would
prefer to use a commercial editor and concentrate on real
application programs ...
