Subject: Enhancement suggestions for UEdit active scripting

Hello IDM

After working with active scripting in UltraEdit for a couple of weeks I have
the following enhancements to suggest:

* A setting/option that suppresses the output window if there is no errors
when running a script (see also my suggestion for outputWindowVisible).

UltraEdit.outputWindowVisible = true/false
true = show output window
false = don't show output window

UltraEdit.outputWindow.write()
Just like UltraEdit.activeDocument.write but to the output window.

UltraEdit.outputWindow.clear()
Clears the output window.

UltraEdit.outputWindow.copy()
Copies the output window to the clipboard.

UltraEdit.activeDocument.cursorLineNum
UltraEdit.activeDocument.cursorColNum
Properties with the actual position of the cursor. Allthough you can do a lot
with ToogleBookmark "and family" and isColNum, it is more intuitive (for me) to work with line numbers and column numbers together with
gotoLine/gotoLineSelect.

UltraEdit.activeDocument.lines
Property with the actual number of lines in the document.

UltraEdit.activeDocument.size
Property with the actual number of bytes in the document (same as file size in the info-line).

UltraEdit.activeDocument.path
This property needs to be documented. It works ok though.

Good ideas Jorgen,

You might want to add:

UltraEdit.activeDocument.characters
Property with the actual number of characters in the document (for those formats with multi-byte characters).
