Agreed.  I bought CygEdPro on a whim at AmiExpo in LA last year, as the current
versions of Emacs I had were either too inflexible or waaaaaay too complicated
for my needs.  I have one small gripe to add... CED doesn't retain the protect
bits of your file when it is resaved!... I didn't mind this (or even notice it)
so much until I got AmigaDOS 1.3, with its support of the 's' protect bit for
scripts.  Hopefully all the little problems will be addressed with the update...
