If you have a several thousand line text document, you are in for some surprises when you try to scroll, select text, move by pages. Any of the normal things that you would do in a text editor. Don't get me wrong - I use Vantage every day, and think it is great. Just don't expect it to solve all of your problems - it's not entirely perfect. -- Shane P.
