Contrary to what is stated >above some of the extensions could *not* be added with "some elisp" code. I'm curious how you arrive at this conclusion, given that there's a full LISP environment in there. Are you saying that there are things that simply can't be done in LISP, or what? [Needless to say, I don't know that I'd buy the use of the adverb 'easily', but I seriously doubt there are things that you absolutely could not do.] >Also contrary to what is stated above it is pretty easy to extend Apex >though the editor is somewhat closed.
