Re: [MacPerl] Tabs in STDOUT/Editors

[dj_feldmeyer@jft.com]

If I'm not mistaken, BBEdit and Alpha are set apart by their ability to send
AppleEvents on the closing of a window or saving of a file. This is used to send
the edited text back to the calling application. Alpha also has syntax colouring
for MacPerl, etc.

cheers, dj
