I am in search for the ultimate text editor to use while programming, and I
am wondering what some of you people use.  I have tried the following and
rejected them for the reasons given.

lse - kindof big and does not do *real* multiple reasons
dme - does not do real tabs, cannot switch between windows without moving mouse
uedit - window takes up whole screen and does not allow access to workbench
	   because it covers up the icons.
az - does not do real tabs, has not many features
microemacs - kindof big and opens another screen.

plus a few other ones.  I am now forced to revert back to using lse which in
my opinion is the lesser of the evils.  uedit seems to be an excellent program
but I must be able to size the window as I please.  I could also not figure
out how to get it to show me what line I am on (it would only show what page
and what line on that page).

Please let me know what you use and whether it does real tabs, has different
windows (resizable).  What other features does it have?  If it is pd or
shareware, where can I get it or can you send me a copy?

thanks in advance for your help.
