I too would be very interested in this topic.  In the times before,
when I have had to fight the 32k wall, everyone has told me "it
can't be done.  Don't use TextEdit."  Is this true ?  The
alternative question is: How difficult is it to do what TextEdit
does without using TextEdit ?  Does MSWord use TextEdit (obviously
not) ?  Who is willing to write a replacement for TextEdit for
other programmers to use ?  Let me know if I'm out of my expertise
level here and these questions are inane.
