Heh! Considering how easy it is to deploy a multi-line edit widget in any GUI toolkit, it shouldn't be too hard to write a GUI text editor. Now, writing a *good* GUI text editor, that's a bit harder. And of course, writing a text/console text editor, that's also less simple. But I put it to you: How do you write your editor up to the point where you can use it to write your editor? We have a bootstrapping problem! ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
