Hi WinHugs actually supports a few TextEditors - Textpad, Notepad and another I can't remember (Jot rings a bell...). However, it won't offer to use TextPad unless you have TextPad installed, and similarly with the other editor. It's not too hard to add more editors to WinHugs, if you have a basic knowledge of C.
You should be able to use any editor using the Custom facility.
