Thank you very much, Jamal Mazrui, for the info about Note Tab. I am becoming very interested in it. I would use it for everything I currently do in notepad, which is a tiny bit of editing, some examination of brl files and HTML writing. What version does a person need to get to have the editing features discussed? I really need any program I use to have a spell check, because I'm a lousy speller. Every time I write something for a web page I have to copy the page I opened in explorer, spell check it and remember the problems so I can switch to notepad with the html in it and fix my mess in there. :-) I'm really a fan of advanced searching, too.
