I didn't realize the difference in texteditors. Ken, thanks for the Tex-Edit tip; I'll check it out (always likeda few features in MINIwriter, but it has limitations too). I don't reallylike SimpleText, but that's what the file opened up with. Sometimes I douse BBEdit, but I'm not completely sold on it either.Thanks,Terry Wilson Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
