True. When CEDPro started shipping the script bit didn't exist yet :-). This
will be addressed in the next release.

While it is true that these two requesters don't appear under the mouse when
brought up (and true the others do in fact appear beneath the mouse) these two
requesters in particular do not need to appear under the mouse.

The line jump requester comes up with the integer gadget already active so
simply hitting return will abort the request or typing in a number and hitting
return will cause the editor to skip directly to that line. No mouse interaction
required.

The search and replace requester also needs no mouse interaction. The two 
string requesters in the replace requester can be toggled between by shift-ret.
Each of the search options (boolean gadgets) can be toggled from keyboard
commands as well.

To wit: Amiga-c for Case Sensitivity (toggle)
        Amiga-w for Wile Cards (toggle)
        Amiga-f for Forward searching (toggle)
        Amiga-o for Only word searching (toggle)

>3> I wish HOTKEY remembered the file previously loaded (and reloaded it).

If this is what you want...then simply don't quit the editor. Just move on
to whatever screen you'd like to work on and then at any time hit the hot
start key sequence and...presto...right where you left off.

True. Sorry about that. The next release will address this benign buglet.
The next release will also stengthen the undo facility.

It would: please email a list (although the manual has already been reproofed
but the resulting version has not been put into circulation.
