The .chm and .pdf files will be displayed in the Guides menu, and the .exe files in the Tools menu.

 
Source code of the CSED editor. To compile it, version 10.02 of the PowerBASIC for Windows compiler and version 2.03 of my Windows API Headers are required.

Permission is granted to develop new versions of the editor as long as the source code is made freely available in this forum or elsewhere.

Enjoy coding these features that are indispensable to you and aren't available in the current version of the editor.

The code of the editor is also an excellent example of how to use the classes and wrappers provided in the Windows API Headers package.
