Easier said than done -- as you know -- since a lot of programming has
gone into TextPal, but I appreciate the interest.  It also helps me to
know as specifically as posssible what TextPal features people actually
have been using that they miss in EdSharp, so I'm not just targeting
feature parity for the principle of it, but for the tangible benefits it
prvides.
