Text editors are mainly for users that want to use the dos/commandline to directly compile/link the code typed in the editor.   If you want a higher level setup that does all the dirty work then try one of the many good IDE's out there like, EasyCode, RadAsm, WinAsm, etc...

EasyCode is one if not only asm visual code construction IDE's, RadAsm is an all rounder, WinAsm is sleak and the best at module style programming.
