Exactly!

I think I fully agree with Ken's statement, that eventual bugs in the
current IDE
should be fixed (thanks for the custom prop fix, Ken!) and then
published.

After that, we can start with an IDE for engines >= 2.7, and that was
the tenor
of most mails so far.

Please remember that we do all this in our meager freetime, Robert ;-)

P.S.
In the current "mctools" there are 3 "Script Editor" stacks
"Script Editor", "Script Editor 1" and "Script Editor 2".

I am not sure, is this correct?
Or should there be only ONE, like in "Highlander" ;-)?
