I have removed the pEdit.exe and recompressed the program as
pEdit.tar.bz2, only ~12k.
Now for the comments
missing features:
No help :)
which is probably because you have no menus (or a proper toolbar)
There are no keyboard shortcuts (they go well with menus)
You should really take what you have so far and incorporate it into "gedi" which comes with the Tk distribution. PS - apparently the current version of gedi needs patching.
Pod is not hilighted at all (super fancy hilighting like jEdit does is not neccessary, merely doing as vim does is fine -- the difference is jEdit hilights pod =headN differently from =for...)
bugs
Total lines doesn't work if you're just working with a buffer
Goto lines doesn't work if you're just working with a buffer
Find doesn't work if you're just working with a buffer
Run Script! doesn't work if you're just working with a buffer (Error! No script was provided to run)
Color Text? wipes out the buffer if you're working with a buffer (this is not cool).
Test Syntaxt! works ok with just a buffer.
