New ABAP editor?

Rubbish, it works with a reasonably recent patch of the 640 gui. (Is 620
still supported?). I know I used it with sapgui 640 SP18, which came out
around December 2006 I think, so it was supported at least as early as
that.

On the backend you need to be running 620 (i.e. 4.7), and the editor was
introduced in a service pack somewhere around SP54-56.
