But I happen to know that Mitch is not a fan of LISP-type languages either. Well, I guess that leaves out EMACS too. Of course you could write macros in EDT, but that is rather wordy and not as powerful. So, a question: If you have a rather hairy text manipulation application that you may use only once or frequently, you hate to type, and you hate lisp-type languages, what utility would you use??? (REMEMBER: Real programmers use a hard, cryptic, unforgiving editor - TECO)
