Okay, thx. I added that line and it worked fine, so there's nothing 
wrong with RDE. Also worked for Scite. Didn't work for FreeRIDE tho. So 
far I've found that that was the only program that was having problems, 
it just happened to be the first one I tried.

I'll stick with RDE for now - no more time, just want to get on with it. 
I'm running through some tutorials and its a lot faster in RDE than 
using IRB from the DOS console and a standard text editor. If I want the 
perfect editor I guess I'll just have to learn to program my own.
