Some like QB's editor; some don't.  The price you pay for it is a slowdown
in program execution due to PCODE and increased memory requirements for
the IDE.  Zale is not trying to create a QB clone with PB.

Borland used to offer a separate help tsr for Turbo Pascal, C and TASM. I
always thought it was a good idea.

It is PowerBASIC's standalone debugger.  It is quite useful, especially
if you don't program in the environment.
