John Painter says in his post: >QUED (I can't remember the company) available through MacConnection >Works GREAT has macros, edits any TEXT file regardless of owner and >there is a hack (in the manual???) to cause it to be the texteditor >for files owned by EDIT. Hope it helps... However, I should point out that IMHO, QUED has a brain-dead user interface. Instead of supporting the standard Apple file selection dialogs, thay have their own custom file selection process, which is a window that floats (or doesn't, if the window is not the currently selected window), and it has an automatic filter that only displays TEXT files. It can be turned off, but the second you change directories, it is on again. All in all, very inelegant. I spent so much time fighting with the user interface that I threw it away and went back to Leonard Rosenthal's Sigma-Edit DA. David J Harr --no fancy .sig, I used all my REAL braindead ideas above--
