My favorites are that it silently fixes case errors and encourages
meaningful file names. The former is important for Mac babies who can't
understand why the computer shouldn't just DWIM when it comes to case. For
an example of the later, m-res-f-ru-j will expand to
My_Resume_for_Ruby_Jobs.

There's probably a way but I'm no help. I have open <filename> set up pipe
<filename> to CodeWarrior editor. We become slaves to editors that we have
"mastered".

This *is* getting a little OT for the list but I'd be happy to continue in
private mail.
