I use Qedit, myself; I find that the automatic C-formatting that it uses (if
you set it up to do so) is very useful in writing TADS code, which is muchly
the same in blocking syntax and such.  I'm also writing a little macro that'll
read in the error messages created by the compiler and open another window so
you can see 'em, a' la the Borland IDE (ick, but it's a good idea)...
