Hi all:
   With working on an IBM mainframe everyday at school, I have grown a bit
used to the XEDIT editor.  I am interested in making an Xedit-type editor
for the ST, with the same kind of power (macros, full configuration settings,
etc.)  I know that a commercial product exists for the IBM PC series of
computers called Kedit (Mansfield Software).  Does anything exist like this
for the ST, either PD, shareware or commercial?  If something like this
does exist, can someone please give me references to companies or FTP/mail
sites to get a copy?  Any help would be appreciated.
   By the way, I know Kedit works on an ST running PC-DITTO; it's slow, but
it works.
   On a related note, is there anything similar to REXX available for the
ST?  That's another idea that has been brewing over in my mind for a while
now too.  (I know...if I want a mainframe environment, use a mainframe.  But
I like my ST!)
   Thanks all!  I hope something good can come out of this!
