While we're on the subject... I've tried several programmer's editors
(QEDIT, MULTI-EDIT and others) but haven't really been satisfied with them.  

I guess I'm picky but I'd like one that:
	1)	allows one to put tab (^I) characters in the file,
			but will expand them to a user definable set
			of equal positions (4 spaces for C, 8 for all else).
	2)	and has user definable keys (include F1-F10, <ctrl>... and
		<alt>...), macros, and a startup file.
	3)	small (< 64K executable) so I can use it on our old PC's.

The above editors, at least after a cursory look, don't satisfy all three.
I had real hopes for CSE, that was posted to comp.ibm.pc.binaries a while
back, but alas it failed as well.
