The SemWare Editor Professional (TSE Pro) has been designed for the professional programmer. It includes a macro programming language that allows you to tap into the editor itself to extend the editor's features and to simplify complex editing tasks. Its virtual memory capacity allows you to edit very large files. And its configuration facilities allow you to customize many facets of the editor's behavior.
