Is there a plain text editor for the mac that can manipulate
rectangular areas of text?  I'd love to be able to hold down
option or cmd or something while dragging the cursor and have
it select a rectangular area instead of a stream of text.
Kinda like an editor I know on UNIX.
Of course, this is only useful when the font is constant-width.
