However, I should point out that IMHO, QUED has a brain-dead user
interface. Instead of supporting the standard Apple file selection dialogs,
thay have their own custom file selection process, which is a window that
floats (or doesn't, if the window is not the currently selected window),
and it has an automatic filter that only  displays TEXT files. It can be
turned off, but the second you change directories, it is on again. All in
all, very inelegant. I spent so much time fighting with the user interface
that I threw it away and went back to Leonard Rosenthal's Sigma-Edit DA.
