Robin,

I have 'one-up' on you! I have tried Vi and Emacs and have searched the 
distros (and Google) but have not yet found anything comparable 
(especially to TextPad). TextPad's simple clip library feature makes 
editing a joy! (I can't believe I just said that! ;-< )

Peter

introduction of a new order of things — Niccolo Machiavelli, /The
