GMan Like Roger, I swapped over from Notepad to Metapad a number of years ago. Main reason for me was the fact that any/all URLs copied into Metapad remain live, and will startup your browser and go to the URL when clicked. Bear in mind this was in the days before the Linkification addin for Firefox, so there was no way of saving live links back then, without messing around with HTML/CSS/javascript coding (Not something you can recommend to young disabled pupils!!!) Now tho, it's a whole different ballgame, with any/all URLs in posts being immediately clickable. That also might be a useful addition to your armoury. Highly recommended!!!

I'll check out MetaPad, too. Thanks for the head's up.
