If you’re running OSX 10.3.5 and you are looking for a text editor that has more features than TextEdit then have a look at TextWrangler from Bare Bones Software. They’ve just released version 2 as freeware so try it and see.
Seeing as I’m still back in Bronze Age OSX 10.2 I use their old editor BBEdit Lite which just keeps on working for me. Except when I’m back using my close and dear friend “vi” – years of using it to edit source code on SVR3 UNIX systems had embedded it into my RNA, I think.
