Rather than mess about with WordPad or NotePad use Programmer's File
Editor.
It's no longer being developed (it was sold to Microchip) but, the final
free public release is very powerful.

Try NoteTab Light. Its for free, and a good editor.
It works in Windows 98. Im not sure if it works in Windows XP.
The web page is:

I have found that standard Windows WordPad makes a "useable"
program editor
if all else fails. It will usually work smoothly with whatever version of
Windows that is is packaged with.
_However_, you must be careful not to use any font control or formating
functions. If you do so it will puke out all of the embedded document
formatting crap. Just stick to simple ASCII editing functions and always
save as a "text" file. I have never found an assembler or compiler
that
will suffer the embedded formating garbage gracefully.
Good luck, Bob Smith

Find out what kind of boards they use for classes on campus if you can or
find a board that some one has done a lot of work with that you can get to
help you if you can. Having local support is really nice if you can find it.
If you have to start from scratch consider New Micros boards. I have had
excellent support from them and used them to develop several products. The
larger board can be emulate almost any 68HC11 configuration. They come with
FORTH burned into the OTPROM on the chip and have a basic, small c and
assembler for the 68HC11 that comes with them. The FORTH is a professional
product. Small c is not a standard C compiler but I have seen substantial
products done with it. I think the assembler is the Motorola assembler and I
have not used the basic.
Here is what I use it is an inexpensive set of tools that can do full scale
development. The editor is out of date and not supported and has some
difficulties with Windows XP but still works well enough that I haven't
looked for something else. I would suggest that it not be used for someone
starting out. If someone has a better candidate for a simple editor I would
be interested in hearing about it. http://www.couger.com/gcouger/newmicros.html

I have used the Axiom CME-11E9-EVBU with one of my classes. It worked
fine for the students. I believe it was about $130. However, I think
my favorite was Motorola's EVBU board at about $70. Unfortunately, I
don't think it is available any more.

Hello, I'm a student and want to know what kinds of board to
purchase? I need a reliable board with a decent price. Is Axiom
student version board CME-E for $89 any good? How about HC11 F1 Board http://www.aspisys.com/f1.htm or EVBplus board for $99 or should I
consider the EVBplus2 board for $129 student version at http://www.evbplus.com/.
