My PBasic editor

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but I've used the BS2 for quite some time. I just finished a preliminary development of a PBasic editor for windows and was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in helping me test it out.
Its utilizing the jEdit as a text editor and I've implemented some scripts in jEditor to tokenize and dump the code to the BS2 via the COM1 port. Most of the reserved words are color coded and programming styles for indenting are available (and this editor's find/replace option is not buggy like the traditional PBasic editor). Also, it has a debug window for using the commands for debug and debugin.
If you guys are interested in trying it out, I'll setup a page to download page with instructions.
In the meantime, here are a few screen captures of the editor in action! Thanks for looking.

I'm very impressed.
I have a Jedit icon sitting on my desktop. I never got around to using it.
I'm an UltraEdit guy myself.

to grab the zip file. To use jedit, you must have one of the newer versions of Java runtime installed on you computer, i.e., Java 1.4.x or Java 1.5.
I haven't made an installer yet for it. Thus, to use this editor, you must following the following steps:
1) You must unzip this file directly into the C:\Program Files\ directory. Can't be any other letter drive (as of yet).
2) Copy the .jedit directory located in the jEdit4.3pre2 directory to which ever user profile directory you are using e.g., in windows XP you have to copy the .jedit directory to this directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ if you are logged in as the user administrator.
3) From there you can double click on the file jedit.jar in the jEdit4.3pre2 directory to open up the interface.
Usage:
1) After making your PBasic code, in the editor (or just opening up one of your existing files), to tokenize and dump the code to the BS2, make sure its connected to serial port under name COM1 and have it powered up.
2) Select the Macros menu at the top of the window and select Download PBasic Program.
3) If you want to open the debug window, look at the select menu underneath Download PBasic Program. Quick note, this editor only works with BS2 and not with other versions of BS2 yet, e.g., BS2p40, etc.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
