The interface is much better than CygnusEd's hokey one.... I second this recommendation. The ARexx interface is extremely well thought out and logical. Not only do the commands have logical, easy-to-remember names, but the return values are what one would expect/want. The other text editors I have tried which support ARexx have been lacking in this regard; they have offered a simple method of sending commands to the editor, but retrieving information about the document or editor state has been of a limited nature. I have had no such problems with TTX. Also, the manual is very good. -- Kari Sutela sutela@polaris.utu.fi
