As an update I was able to get Slick edit to work with a gpr file. It turned out that the main problem was their way of communicating with a child process like gprbuild or anything when you setup a project other than the a Visual Studio (and possibly other mainstream types). It creates a type of "pipe" on your disk which some virusscanners take exception to and that makes SE to come up with an error. Once you add slickedit and the configuration directory to the scanner's exception list you can set up the repsective calls to build a program and it works. I still have some work to do to get all commands set up and possibly the debugger to work but currently I tend to use Slickedit and GPS in tandem with GPS having the superior help functionality and being better at manipulating the project itself and SE having the better texteditor features and a reasonably good object browser. In case anybody here involved with Adacore reads this: You should reach out to the Slickedit people and work with them. The SE teammember I was communicating with in their support forum apparently never heard of Adacore and didn't know how to use gprbuild. It would be great if SE would offer GPS integration in the future like they do for Visual Studio
