I find it an excellent editor for my purposes. The advantage is, that this editor is very well integrated with Context. There is normally no command window necessary! So if you give these people a minimal context with Scite they surely are on the good track. Kind regards Willi John R. Culleton wrote: > I have been using Linux since the days of Win 3.1.
