If you want to learn more, more specifically how to do things The Right
Way, hand-coding is the best way to go. I applaud your instructor for
teaching this method.

However, there are much better general purpose editors than Notepad. My
personal favorite is Crimson Editor. It has a tabbed interface, syntax
highlighting, extended search and other useful features.
