I downloaded the following book by the listed translator for editing. The
book begins with the introduction on page 8 and ends with page 190. Can
anyone find this book in hardcopy and let me know what preceeds page 8 and
whether p. 190 is indeed the end of the book. Help appreciated.

Hi Kellie, Cindy, and Shelley,
I like the SemWare Editor (T S E), which provides the user with a great deal of flexibility in customizing it to their personal preferences. If you do a search on the web, you'll probably be able to find it fairly easily. If nobody comes up with a link for their web site, I'll find 1 and post it later today. There are also a number of free editors in the Blind Programmers library, I haven't used them, but others using screen reader and braille displays have and recommend them. They are under the link to: General and Miscellaneous at http://www.blindprogramming.com
Cindy, unfortunately I can't recommend any editors for you since you're working on a Mac, but I'm sure there many out there. A text editor is basically a stripped down word processor, which usually saves in ASCII Text format. They are usually line oriented, rather than whysiwug (what you see is what you get). What I mean by line oriented, is that you have a line of text, a line feed / carriage return, page break, etc. They don't typically save font info, do fancy print jobs, or go overboard with other special attributes. Most people now a days find them useful for writing source code for program compilers, and as simple note takers. It could be said that Windows NotePad is a text editor, but a very inflexible one at that.
