I would implore my fellow Xywriters, to check out gvim! It is cross platform, free, and robust! Scripting within the text editor/processor is in its own vimscript as well as perl, python and other languages. The focus of the interface is to try and keep your hands ALWAYS on the keyboard. The learning curve, for the default key bindings, is steep, like Xywrite, but trust me there is a payoff in performance of action. There is a HUGE amount of scripts/pluging already accessible, a thriving support community, etc. If anyone has any questions, I'll gladly answer, but search the web. Trust me you'll find a wealth of answers! Russ
