Cancel that. I was trying some other editor based on scintilla. SciTE is
no trouble. But I was not really impressed. I think vi does better
syntax hilighting. And the code folding was awkward. My tabbed indenting
was shown in an odd way. Set to 8 characters did not result in 8
characters. Oh, could that be the variable spaced fonts it uses by
default? In the integrated 'make' window, when clicking on a file for
which something was noted, it tried to take you to the offending line
number in the file you were editing. Not the file with the problem. I am
sure there are nice features. And maybe I was too impatient with the
configuration. I also suspect that part of the ugliness is the use of
the Gtk. YOMD.

So, vi it is. Or emacs if you are the guy in the next room.
