I really don't see why one would want to use WordPerfect as a 
PROGRAMMING editor.  If you are really enamored of the WP interface,
why not use their programming editor (PE)?  If you really want a
programming editor (and I mean GOOD) try Multi-Edit by American
Cybernetics.  You can get a demo disk free by calling (602)968-1945
and if you like what you see, get the full blown editor for $99.  As
a programming editor it blows the doors off WP.  I am a software
engineer and program 40 hrs. per week and whether it be PC or mainframe
editors, I have not seen a better editor that Multi-Edit (there are
some as good, but they only run on mainframes).

I have no connection with American Cybernetics other than being a VERY
satisfied customer.
