| So what are the recommendations? Would prefer a freeware editor.
What are people using?
Personally would like something sweet and simple.

| There's also a free editor called Crimson that many people like:
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
This site also lists a number of other freeware and shareware editors - just
click on the Other Editors link in the Contents navigation bar on the left.
And then there's Pythonwin, used by many script writers, which is now hosted
at SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

| I prefer kedit, non-freeware from Mansfield Software, see kedit.com.
It is a good general editor for Windows flat files with a strong command
language.
With it I've made a macro to give me an alphabetic list of scripts in a
single folder, and I can use it to access an specific entry for editing.

I use CrimsonEdit. However, development on it has stopped and the code
base is migrating and being improved in EmeraldEditor- another freeware
editor.
Why I like Crimson:
-language specific context files including python, html, xhtml, CSS, and
so on.
-can add file extensions so it will recognize psp script files.
-Line numbering and background colors can be customized for tired eyes.
-show invisible characters.

I use KEDIT, too, John. In fact, I used to work for Mansfield Software
Group - a long, long time ago - and wrote/edited most of the original
users guide and manual. :)
The demo version is fully functional except that you can save only up to
75 lines. For some folks, that might be sufficient. And for those who
need more than that, the demo will at least give a taste of what's
available in KEDIT, including it's very powerful macro capabilities.

P.S. I think I once started putting together a KLD file for python. If I
can dig it up, I'll post it here, if you're interested.

| I actually use UltraEdit-32 (http://www.ultraedit.com/), which is not one of
the freeware editors. I've used it for years, and have no problems with it
whatsoever. It has syntax highlighting, with a downloadable and
configurable Python wordfile, and I like its ability to show line numbers,
to utilize color, and to add/remove indents to/from whole blocks of code at
a time. I've tried a few of the freeware editors, but have not found
anything I like as well as UltraEdit. Suz

OK, I'll try to either find it or recreate it.

I think this will do it, John - or at least get us started. I threw it
together pretty quickly just now, but it seems to work.
Put the KLD file in the same folder where you store your KEDIT macros.
See the Help (under "Other Features") for how to load a KLD, if you
haven't done it before.
If you find a problem or make an improvement, please let me know.

You should try the Pyscripter
It is free, has syntax hilighting but even better, it is a complete
programming environment with code help, a debugger with step-by-step
execution and variable browsing.
