Alan, can I suggest that you at least look at UltraEdit
(www.ultraedit.com) which as a text editor leaves notepad in the dark
ages?
It handles files of any size, unlimited number of files open at once, has
global search and replace over all open files, colour coding of html tags
(which you can specify) etc, and above all, you can configure what's open
when you start it - past files? projects? most recent folders?. If has
macros that can do a vast array of stuff, and while this sounds like a
Microsoft brochure, its' nowhere near as hard to use as microsoft
programs. And if you're into , hand coding, I reckon it's the beezneez.
I use the great tools too, CFStudio, Dreamweaver et al. but I use
UltraEdit all the time.
Disclaimer: I have no financial or other connection with UltraEdit,
except that I'm a happy customer and have been using it since version 5.2
(it's up to v7.1 now)
Cheers,
