OK. since it's required to jelect the job to delete, I
propose we keep the right-click. Thus not mandatory to
have a delete button.

2 things : EDIT and COPY
Ideed, when we edit, we can save (as a new job) or
save (to over write) the selected job.

For sure. This is a tool for developers and testers
... it's for us. we must use it.

YES. Definitevely I like this editor.

Oups, I did some cut and paste and forget to check.
The reason I don't like Tabs, is the place they take
on screen and paper. I think that an ident of 4 char
is the best balance betwwen presentation and width
required
I will look at this more closely. 
Sorry for the perturbation

Don't be afraid that's the added value of CVS. 
We are not so many to have the access... I don't think
this will cause too many troubles.
Some will occurs (error is human) but should not too
annoying.
