I was afraid of that. I found some search results for someone making
gdl-sharp and I was hoping it had some work on it. But, I can easily
extract what I need from MonoDevelop.

They did a very good job of organizing the code. :) I've enjoyed working in
it.

Cool. If I go down that direction, I'll start from there. I did the same
with the text editor (started with MonoDevelop's and modified it).

I actually started there, but I was having trouble loading a 624k word
novel into it and still getting all the contextual stuff I needed (mostly
background processing of lines while editing and loading/unloading code).
But, I took the ideas and made one that abstracted out the Document class
into a line provider.

Thank you.
