Script Editor

I came across this free script editor, just wondering if using it is ok:
www.freescripteditor.org/

Seems to save in UTF-8 so I think is fine saving the cas files, right?

Your opinion is gold. Thanks.

I wouldn't be so sure, I would stick w/ the editor that comes with your computer (Notepad for windows, and TextEdit for mac).

I'm not saying it will do anything bad but. It would probally be easier if you just use the basic ones, they always seem to work the best.

I've never used it, but it would probably work fine. Easy enough to try it out and find out.

A good free editor is jedit, www.jedit.org/.

There are tons of free text editors out there, and any of them will work. A text editor is one of the easiest applications to create, and a good way to learn serious computer programming.

I'm partial to [url =http://www.vim.org/]Gvim[/url] myself. It's a clone of vi. It does context highlighting, and since it thinks a .cs file is C# source code, it colors the text according to C# syntax -- which makes it nearly perfect for TorqueScript.

Gvim is free, but if you like it, the authors ask you to send a contribution to a Uganda relief fund. Type :help uganda inside Gvim to find out more.
