I agree, and I was wondering what it was that was so ugly, now I know - motif. Oh, well. > BTW, NEdit can do cool stuff with HTML too. No need to use an other > editor.

I stopped using the Zend program, it was just too much of a memory hog, like kde and gnome, even on my amd 1ghz/384megs ram box at work. I used Nedit for about a half-dozen web pages today, it went well, I like it. The only thing I would add, if I could, would be the ability to open multiple files in one window, with tabs to bring each on up to the top.
