 Golded has some cute but useless features like one that allows you to
write explanations in the config file for all your acronyms so that
whenever the cursor is highlighting one, it's explanation appears on the
status line. The author has gone to the trouble of adding other cute but
useless features like soundblaster support for about 20 different Golded
events. This is great. You can have it play a VOC file of a laser sound
whenever you highlight a message to yourself. I wish the author had gone to
the same trouble in ironing out the internal editors bugs.



This is Qedit I'm using now so I'll have to see how it settles down over
the next few days. The biggest problem I'm having at the moment is getting
my spellchecker to work with it. I have a keystroke defined to save the
current file, call up sharespell to check the saved file, then re-load the
spell checked file (message). I can get the file spell checked ok, but the
alterations that the spellchecker made then disappear. Looks like I'll have
to take a closer look at the docs.
