You're not seriously suggesting to set StyledEdit as default app for source
code, or are you? I don't see any advantage, but a lot of annoyance in such a
move. If Pe is not installed, the default app for the "text" super type (i.e.
StyledEdit) should be selected as fallback -- so no harm done. And if it is
installed, I can't imagine anyone being happier to see source code open in
StyledEdit.
