Thanks for the suggestion Eduardo. I've got scite installed now and it works pretty well!<br>
<br>
Any further suggestions on this topic are welcome.<br>

If you use SciTE ( <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html">http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html</a> ) with its Ruby lexer, it fits very well for MapFile editing.<br><br>best<br><br>Eduardo Patto Kanegae<br><a href="http://www.webmapit.com.br">

<br>><br>><br>> Hi list,<br>><br>> I've only recently started to work with MapServer, after learning the basics<br>> of it and setting it up, I am now ready to start creating maps! very<br>> exciting.
<br>><br>> My question would be what editor should I use and how should I use it to<br>> create/edit mapfiles. I'm currently using Vim with mapfile syntax<br>> highlighting installed from the user utilities part of the mapserver
<br>> website. This is working well. But it is hard navigating the whole file.<br>><br>> There isn't an overview window which UltraEdit seems to have. I'd have to<br>> manually scroll to the area of interest rather than doubling clicking on a
<br>> side bar listing of layer objects. I'm not explaining this very well, but<br>> are you with me?<br>><br>> How is everyone else editing mapfiles? Any advice would be greatly<br>> appreciated. Oh, my platform is Debian Sarge.
<br>><br>> Thanks<br>> Xin<br>><br>><br></blockquote></div><br>
