- Nope...and I'd doubt that it'll happen anytime soon. It says in Mark
- Riggle's article that you have to use INCLUDE/%INCLUDE to get your
- externally edited code into SAS, but that's really a small price to pay
- to use this handy feature. I just have to start remembering my EMACS
- as it's been several years since I've been able to use it. I'd think
- that it would take some MAJOR programming hooks to add a "use your
- favorite editor" feature to replace/augment the Program Editor and SI
- has enough stuff going on to put this on the back burner, but I'm sure
- that if it isn't already it will soon be in the "queue" for system
- enhancements...
