That's what I want. Since I'm using gxx at a command promp to compile
anyway, it makes little difference. I just hope there's still a DOS prompt.

OK, I'll try this.

Most of the docs I write are in HTML, but since I do them in notepad,
anyway...

Here's a couple of ideas for the editor, anyway (I hear you're taking
suggestions):

If you're still going to keep syntax highlighting in the editor (yes please)
how about adding support for more languages (including HTML). I don't really
care about languages other than C++ and HTML, but marking up my HTML code
would be a nice touch.


And a DOS promt menu entry which defaults to the current directory (where
you loaded/saved the last file from/to).
