I agree with Christian here. Pe is "just" an editor and I personally have no intention to change it into a proper IDE. That's just too much work, esp. since several IDE-developments are (rumoured to be) on their way. Furthermore, I believe the internal workings of Pe to not be sufficient for a proper, extensible IDE. It works, but it's a bit of a mess, really... >:oP cheers, Oliver
