CF| I changed to the VI editor.  Thanx for the tip.

No problem...

CF| your editor to load every time you make a change.  I've tried to leave
  | the editor open and just save the file when I'm finished(which is also a
  | pain) but it seems like the IDE wants to open up another session of the
  | editor instead of calling the old session back to the foreground.  This

True, the IDE doesn't seem to know that you have the source file open
already, but what I do is open up my own DOS or OS/2 session (depends upon
what platform I'm working on) and then edit the files from the there.
Personally, I only use the IDE to change compiler options and provide the
make facility...
