Every piece of software that allows you to enter, delete, rearrange and otherwise manipulate text uses a text editor to do it. Some text editors, such as MS WORD or WordPerfect, are more powerful and are usually called word PROCESSORS though. Technically, all word processors are text editors. The software you used to create your reply to my message used a text editor to create it. Don P.S. Your reply read like maybe you missed the <grin> in my message. I'm sorry if my attempt at a little humour failed. ----- Original Message ----- From: " milady" <kg6ocz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 9:17 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: I love it Yeah right..but for WHAT???

Mary Lou Edit text. Duh ! ! ! <grin> When used in this context the term "text editor" refers to a very basic word processor that uses only the standard ASCII characters. No fancy formatting, no BOLD, no underscore, no different font sizes or styles. Text is in one continuous line until you hit 255 characters or a line feed (carriage return or ENTER). It is typically most useful for brief notes, plain text uses and writing programming code. Don No more bounces!
