Hi Wilfried,
Good! This is certainly a decision you will not regret. Do not dispair,
if there are hurdles until the system is setup!
Just to add to the hopefully not to big confusion:
There is yet another editor which is really to be considered. - its
name is Scite. You can download it from
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html
Hans Hagen at Pragma has made this editor CONTEXT aware. - And this will
be extended ...
Advantages: highlighting , running texexec from the menu or by
key, possibilities to run a syntax-check, view the compiled file in
the PDF-viewer.
Kind regards Willi
