Heh.  If an OS/2 version of TSE/Pro were likely, I would not be looking for  
another editor at this time.  The only feature of TSE/Pro I have yet been  
disappointed in is the syntax highlighting.  I enjoyed the CUA/Borland feel  
most of all.  The grey+-* clipboard is annoying at first but is easily  
mapped to CUA keys.  I haven't because I am now used to using them, but 
ill.
I realize now that TSE/Jr would have been a far better choice and then I 
would have had an upgrade path to the OS/2 version.  Even if the DOS version  
supported the OS/2 clipboard it'd be nice.  Even if it just called it a  
"Windows clipboard"..  As it is, I must run Win-OS/2 then command form that  
before QEdit's clipboard is compatible with OS/2.  That's a nasty bit of  
overhead and as you can imagine, I don't use it. 
FWIW, I'm looking at an Emacs variant.  Will compile anywhere I can get gcc  
set up, which does mean DOS and OS/2.  Plus it has ability not found in  
TSE/Pro.  There is a learning curve, however.  I'd much rather have TSE/Pro  
for OS/2.
