Also; "notepad++" is a very good code editor for Windows that is free and open. It's a serious programmer's editor in the "Windows style" (so not like Emacs or Vim). I think I have a ChucK highlighting mode for that that I made somewhere if you'd like to go that way. IMHO Mini-Audicle is better for quickly doing small projects, but if you'd try something larger spanning multiple big files then features like code-folding and advanced search and replace will save you a lot of time. In a pinch the Java mode in made editors will also help.

Happy havkng and remember you're only "n00b" for a very short time :¬)
