This is a fairly core restriction: while SciTE can have multiple files loaded at once and can display tabs to switch between them, there is no way to see the contents of more than one file at at time. I am unlikely to agree to lifting this restriction as I want SciTE to remain simple. For more complex tasks, a more featureful application would be a better fit. If others wish to start a project that adds multiple views to an extended version of SciTE then I'll try to help out so that they can continue to benefit from enhancements to my version of SciTE. For Ruby development, I feel you are much better off with an application designed around the needs of Ruby including integration of debugging, use of Ruby-compatible regular expressions, and an understanding of the files that make up a Ruby project and the links between them. It would be a good idea to develop such an application in a sensible high level language like Python ;-) rather than C++. FreeRIDE seems to be on the right track. Neil
