I appreciate that. I think at least this one would be worth moving over:
* Aids for programmers include indenting, out denting, and reporting levels
of indentation.
BTW, I just downloaded Textpal from the site and it reports itself as being
3.8, but I thought 3.9 had been released. I used the elivate command and
the history doesn't show the 3.9 changes nor does the about screen show 3.9.
Any clues?

Easier said than done -- as you know -- since a lot of programming has gone
into TextPal, but I appreciate the interest. It also helps me to know as
specifically as posssible what TextPal features people actually have been
using that they miss in EdSharp, so I'm not just targeting feature parity
for the principle of it, but for the tangible benefits it prvides.
