I can add a vertical (and even a horizontal) scrollbar to the "memo"
control involved.
(By the way, before you ask: in the past I have also tried to get the
BCL editor's current line number on the statusbar, but stupidly the
"memo" control doesn't notify the program when the cursor position
changes, at least not "easily" - I'd have to dig deep into the Windows
message system for this.)

Done! In vs. 1.3.1 (upcoming) you can export the BCL editor's content
directly to syx/txt/bc2.

Actually, BC Manager already had a txt to syx file conversion routine 
(accessible from the main window), but I admit that being able to save 
directly to syx from the BCL editor window is much easier.

This is a lot trickier than you might think: I'd have to reprogram BC
Manager's BCL interpreter so that it does NOT accept any other data
than a preset. And should we accept a memory preset (i.e. one with
$store attached)?

Well, this is possible from the BCL editor window: Open + Execute.

Why would you want this? (And which dialog exactly?)

Creating graphical file formats (such as metafiles (wmf/emf)) is a
very complicated business concerning scaling, fonts etc. Which format
are you thinking of? (If you're thinking of "prn" files: I have no
idea how I should create those.)

Mark.
