- I use the Prizm editor for doing all of my code. I quit prizm in order
- to do compiling and linking. I've got a 9 MHz Zipped GS w/4 MB of
- RAM. The windows scroll very fast, and you can have lots of files open
- at the same time. Plus, you can split each window into two parts to
- allow for file comparison and easy cut and past operations.
-
- Plus, for smaller programs you can actually compile and execute from
- within Prizm. Even graphical output can be displayed from within a
- window.
-
- I have had problems with programs locking up, and then being unable
- to exit from Prizm. As a result, I've taken to simply quitting
- Prizm, and returning to the text shell to do compiles. It's not as
- good as it could be, but it's no worse that using a text based
- editor.

- emacs? You might as well shoot yourself (talk about user unfriendly).
