    TextPad[^] for sure. It loads quickly, has all the options I need and a whole lot more. Also there is seems to be sytaxx definition for every single file type on the planet available for easy download. Joel Holdsworth

        I'll second TextPad for the same reasons - at least, once you switch the keyboard shortcuts to Windows/Office instead of the strange scheme it has by default. -- Ian Darling "The different versions of the UN*X brand operating system are numbered in a logical sequence: 5, 6, 7, 2, 2.9, 3, 4.0, III, 4.1, V, 4.2, V.2, and 4.3" - Alan Filipski

                              Ah, but I had UltraEdit, which I am still happy with, I am just looking at other editors in case I can't get UltraEdit down at work (I still have UltraEdit at home).

                                TECO was (is) an awesome editor - especially when the macros were used (36 buffers called "Q" registers could hold text or commands) - I created a complete mail merge / reporting system about 20 years ago. You could create commands on the fly, store them in one of the "Q" registers and then execute them. I even ported the editor to a Signetics 2650 microprocessor system using only about 14KB of RAM - which left about 20KB for text. :-D I still use a PC version of the DEC editor EDT - mostly because it creates a Journal file of all of the editing steps that can be recalled if the PC locks up or crashes.
