For your idea to make a MDI IDE I'm not pleased ( I allways hated this 
MDI - Stuff, whitch encoles you)
Is It possible ( like in VB ) to have the choice to do it in SDI or MDI ?

A close all open windows in the IDE would be helpfull.

And one of my favorits, is a tool in the IDE to 'pretty print' the souce 
code for more readabillity (<- arg...is that english ?) without too much 
keyboard working.
I made one  in gambas, but if you could include such one in the gambas - 
editor it will be more powerfull.

Oh yes the gambas - editor, hes not bad, but is more 1994 stile, when 
DOS was the king. But never mind !

A INIT-File component  I think is a MUST for a stable release, here I 
like the Billows way ( not all is bad, what commes from Redmond, the 
keyboards and the GetProfiles for example) . 

I hadn't a go with the USE, but I think that must be that I was allways 
asking for, reusing written code in other projects.

Surrounds like 'look' 'Icons' in the IDE, is not my main problem. 
Functionality YES.
