I'll just chip in a recommendation for gvim-easy, it's based on the unix vi
editor, but has been friendlified enough to make it usable by non-hackers
too!  It's an incredibly powerful editor, but you can just use it as a
plain editor with syntax highlighting until you want to delve into it's
advanced features.  I use it whenever I can for C, things like Ctrl-] to
jump to the definition of the variable or function (even if it is another
file!) under the cursor, Ctrl-T to return aren't very easy to remember but
save a LOT of time.

And it's charityware (donation to charity if you find it useful), open
source, download from
http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc , and pick gvim61.exe, the
self-extracting installer.

It installs two options, pick gvim-easy until you get time to find out how
the commands work, and just use the commands in the menus.  It has syntax
highlighting for PIC assembler, C, html and _alot_ of others (including a
fair number I've never even heard of!)

[If this were a Unix users mailing list, someone else would suggest emacs,
then there would be an extensive but inconclusive battle to decide which
was 'best', but I trust the piclist will be more civilised :-) ]
