More than one language is always good, and learning new ones gives insight into the others. Also sounds like you might have done fp, which stretches your brain a bit too. > (Aside: why is it that most providers of programming tools > try to force command-line interfaces on Windows users?

Emacs not for you then? :) I hated it with a vengence until recently (literally 2 days ago) but now I'm getting the hang of it and quite like it (believe it or not I couldn't find a graphical ide for Linux of quality, which was not C(++)/Java specific :) btw I'm not a Linux maddy, Windows and Context remains my fav). It's also quite good for improving your memory; **lot's** of things to remember until they become natural. There is Jgrasp, don't know how good it is, and ConTEXT is a really good editor (try for 0.96.3 not 0.97 it is a bit buggy) ACT have a new graphical IDE (GPS) which their customers are getting, but I'm not sure about a public release and if there is one it probably won't be for ages yet anyway.
