> I think what I want ideally is to have a proper fully fledged IDE running on my windows desktop that nonetheless can browse files and run and debug everything as if it was running on my Unix server,but maybe this is just impossible?

It is possible, but as long as you think nano is more intuitive than e.g. emacs and you "haven't got either" (Komodo and Eclipse) "to work yet", I have no idea how to help you.

There is a saying in German: "Please wash me but don't make me wet!"

Anyway thanks I didn't know there's a nano port for Ms-Windows, and as soon as Emacs plug-ins are ported to nano I'll let you know. ;-)

Cheers Rolf
