This, in my opinion (of course it's my opinion, I'm writing this), is the
best WordPad replacement out there. You can open multiple files (and it allows you to look
specifically for certain types, like .html or .pas or .txt or whatever) and has a lot more
features than I've figured out.
The author has made the program available in ten languages, and he has pages for each
version in the same language as the program (did that make sense?). It has all the
features of WordPad, and more. Switching between documents is just as simple as clicking
on the tab, rather than having a mess of piled windows. When it's not in use, it sits in
your desktray so you have fast and easy access to it. It even reads UNIX LF files and Mac
CR files and can export files to both formats. Okay, now I'm copying this almost word for
word from this young author's page. If you're looking for a new text editor for any
purpose, even writing webpages (I do my own with this program), then just go there. :)
