The latest version of Qued-M is 2.09, not 2.04. 2.09 has been out for
months, and the version before that (2.07) was out for years. 2.04 is OLD.
So I'm a bit puzzled to find complaints about it now. Call tech support
and get an upgrade. The ^C bug was fixed years ago, and I think it was
fixed only a few months after it was reported (but I could be wrong).

2.09 seems to be very solid. I've never seen it crash (beat that, Microsoft!)
and only has two problems that I've found:
- the Open... dialog box wasn't implemented fully correctly; if Qued is 
running under Multifinder and you double-click on an arbitrary file, Qued 
won't find it unless it is in the current directory (similar problems with 
opening files under Boomerang). I'm not too upset about it since Paragon 
added the standard open dialog box at the last minute, at least partly 
because I made a pest of myself begging them to do it.
- it won't print with SuperLaserSpool 2.02 unless some header information 
is also to be printed. However, it works just fine with SLS 2.0, so it 
isn't clear whether the problem is a bug in Qued or in SLS.

I do wish Paragon would finally release Qued version 3, or make a few
improvements to Nisus so it would work better for plain-text files.
Paragon has rather neglected  Qued while getting Nisus up to snuff.

But even in its  current incarnation, I find Qued very pleasant to use,
and far better than any other text editor I've  tried. It is powerful
and reliable, and has a reasonably well integrated  set of features
(I wish I could say that about products from a certain company in Redmond).
