Hello: In answer to the question about text editors, it actually depends on what you are doing. I am taking a class in web design and we are using Notepad to edit HTML. I have also used the ex and vi editors on Linux systems. Jamal Mazrui has a program called Edsharp. You can go to his LARGE! site: http://www.empowermentzone.com for more information. There are also IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) for Java and Visual Basic. One that has been mentioned is Eclipse. I also use an 80 cell braille display and it is a life saver when dealing with code. Hope this helps.
