One year ago, I have worked with the language sensitive editor (LSE) on a VAX. This editor knew the complete Ada syntax which was handy at writing new Ada programms. With LSE, you can type the first characters of a keyword or some other syntax rule and then E (expand). The LSE will replace these characters by the syntax rule. When the characters identify more then one rule, you get a list of posible choises. One important feature of the LSE is that you can define your own syntax (or a predefined one of an other language). Depending on the extention of the filename, LSE uses a syntax of a perticulary language.
