Thanks Steve, that worked perfectly. I didn't know about that menu item. Also thanks to Seth and Roland. I'm in the middle of learning Python (a language that makes a heck of a lot more sense to me that AS!), and would like to explore Grep. Being a non-math person with a son that's a math major at UCSC, I've got to keep learning so I can manage some kind of conversation with him about his world! Text Factories are a part of BBEdit I've not explored yet either. ARexx on the Amiga was the ideal language for a guy like me. When OOP principles were brought in, I became immediately lost, but Mark Lutz's excellent book on "Learning Python" is giving me hope. That man is a teacher worthy of the name.
I continue to keep plugging away at programming, but use BBEdit primarily for writing. I like to keep it simple, then "pour" the finished doc into a DTP program to control the look of everything.
