Hi
	I'm sending this to the DJGPP list so that SET can see it and also so that
other users of SET Edit can comment on the suggestions within.

	I've recently stopped using RHIDE and started using RHGDB and SETEdit
because I am finding makefiles more flexible for the large projects I am
working on. Having extensively used SETEdit for the first time, I have a
series of suggestions to make. My apologies if they already exist and I'm
to blind to find them.

1. Include a goto line feature, like in RHIDE. Sometimes I run make from a
DOS shell and get errors, but can't go straight to the source line
involved. Also, programs like bison have a different way of returning
errors and SETEDIT can't find the line automatically.

2. Allow GREP to be assigned to a key (eg SHIFT-F2 like in RHIDE). It is
very powerful in SETEDIT, so I use it frequently.

3. Poll the mouse in the screen saver, not only require a keypress to end it.

4. ***BUG*** I windowed SETEDIT in Windows95, and it switched to the screen
saver (Plasma), which stayed in the window. I then pressed a key to end it,
and the dreaded blue screen appeared: a fault in the VMM VxD. As far as I
know this is the Virtual Memory MAnager, which can't be a good thing to
crash, although Windows seemed to recover alright for once, just killing
SETEDIT. If no one else can replicate this: don't worry about it. It is
probably just my horrible crash-prone 486.

5. ***BUG*** Auto-indent mode is on, but if you create a new file and press
<TAB>k<ENTER> it doesn't indent on the first line. Anything does this, not
just k.

6. ***BUG*** Sometimes pressing <HOME> after the editor auto-indents and
then typing has the cursor at the start of the line, but the letters
appearing one tab space in. IT happens quite a bit, but as usual when I try
to replicate it it doesn't work.

Hope this is all useful to users of SETEDIT.

Cheers,
Brett
