I'm writing (with other people) a programming environment for a functional
language on the Macintosh. We'd like to be able to edit large files using
a builtin editor. We can't use MPW as we can't give that away to students
and other interested parties. Result: I have to write a (simple) point
and click editor for the Mac. Using TextEdit is a problem because of the
32000 character limit. Is it feasible to invisibly concatenate multiple
TextEdit objects, or must I write a simple TextEdit replacement.
Hints, example code, anything would be welcome. Figuring out how to
do it all by myself would take a lot of time, which I can't spare
unfortunately.
