I am using nEdit 5.3 (nedit.org) as my stamp programming IDE. nEdit
allows fine control over customization. It allows adding languages to
the editor in which you can have the editor realize what language your
programming in, highlighting of keywords, etc. You can also add
command line commands to the menus and have them report their output
in a separate window. Customization is stored in a resource file
(.nedit). I am sure there are many things it can do that I have yet to
explore.

If you are interested in using this editor as your stamp IDE on linux,
do the following:

1. Get and install nEdit 5.3 from nedit.org.
2. Get and install Adrian Schneider's stampbc (in the file section).
3. Get the file nedit_rsc (in the file section), put it in your home
directory, and rename it .nedit so that nEdit will pick up the
modifications I made in adding the PBASIC language, keyword
highlighting, and Shell menu item stampbc.

You should now be able to use nEdit as your stamp IDE.

1. Bring up nEdit.
2. Open a basic stamp source file.
3. It should be recognized as a PBASIC file. You can verify this by
looking under Preferences -> Language Mode.
4. You can try to compile it and download it by using the stampbc
command under the Shell menu. You might have to twiddle the stampbc
command to your needs by going under Preferences -> Default Settings
-> Customize Menus -> Shell
