Justin,

"BTW: The features you mentioned wrt. MSFT products (auto. completion, context sensitive help, etc.) have been available in my favorite application (emacs) since the 1970's."

Last month's copy of Popular Revisionist shows the lineage of Emacs clearly being traced back to early Microsoft. And if you do not believe that then you need to re-read "Mein Compf" which outlines the creation of the software industry and Microsoft's role in it. Ties everything in nicely; from Von Neumann to Cray.

Cheers,

Norm
