When you ask for for some kind of software in a non-os-specific context (e.g. in this newsgroup) you must _always_ explain what type of computer/os you intend to use it on or your question just won't make sense. Since you didn't I will simply assume that you are a unix girl like me and recommend an editor called "emacs". > ___ _ > _.-| | ( ( > { | | /\___/\ \ \| > "-.|___| \ o o / ___ _) ) > .__|_|_. _( Y ) \. `O / > | | _((_ `^-' _ /__< \ > .+|______|_.-|__)`-' (((/ ((_d > On the net, nobody knows that I am really a cat...

Courier is a serif font, making ascii art look weird. I recommend sans serif.

'-----------------------------------------
Since you don`t mention what OS you are using I peeked into your header and
saw that you are using MSOutlook Express - so I`ll hazard a guess at Win95?
:)
Try these:
Click start, point to Programs, Accessories, then click Notepad
or
Click start, click Run, type Edit in the Run Box and press ok, then press
Alt+Enter if it doesn`t run in a window otherwise the slashes won`t line up
right.
Also it is possible to get
MicroEMACS (Similar to EMACS in Unix)
NotePad+
and many more....
Seeya soon,

I just fished out MicroEMACS for windows...
How do you make selections??

If the answer to that is editing Ascii Art then the answer's prolly nothing. It's good if you're programming 'cos IIRC it does colours for loops and what have you, and it's pretty good for HTML editing for much the same reason. There aren't really any cons (except that it's shareware not freeware and hence you've got to pay for it) - notepad and edit are very basic editors and UltraEdit just does a bit more. I suppose you could call the fact that it's a bigger program and may take longer to load/use more resources a con, but that's stretching the point somewhat unless you're on an 8086 or something else steam powered :> Ultimately it's just got a bit more stonk than a standard text editor and if you're writing anything in code it's a lot easier to use UltraEdit than Notepad. Personally, I *still* prefer Emacs for Windows with the colour patch though :) Hope that helped Aidan
