I have RDE running all the > time -- don't need to wait for it to load :) Nope, just like everyone else, I have my own ways of working with my favorite tools. See, it's not 'untitled' when it starts up because I have an empty test.rb file where I do all my snippet testing. Tricks, like you do with an always open RDE to avoid loading time. I prefer not having open windows all the time (my quirk) so I appreciate quick programs. Given that I also work with C++ on a monster MDA tool with no real editor in parallel, Scite works form me on a much better level than Notepad :). I've learned not to make assumptions on tool usage patterns, probably because my most productive tool usage is so much different from everyone else's :) Cheers, V.- ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.freemail.gr - ������ �������� ������������ ������������. http://www.freemail.gr - free email service for the Greek-speaking.
