I find this very interesting! Here's my version:

OK, it's not EMACS. But for the first
time since I started working on WINDOWS machines a couple of
months ago, I enjoyed writing an IDL program today. In fact,
I could think AND type at the very same time. I'm pretty
sure that was never going to happen with me and the old IDLDE.

It's the first version of the Workbench, and there are quirks,
to be sure. (I'll have an updated list later.)

But using IDL was fun again. That's saying something. :-)

Cheers,

Vince
