Factual Questions

I like Notepad a lot, but it won’t work with large files.

And I liked DOS edit a lot (especially the way you could select things to cut and paste by columns as well as rows), but it doesn’t work with the regular cut and paste system, nor long file names.

Word and Wordpad are overkill and take too long to load on my machine.

What else are people using for quick simple stuff?

Aggh! This was supposed to be a correction to the other thread, not a new thread.
