    There is a good utility called GSXEdit 1.0 recently uploaded to
comp.binaries.apple2.  Although it doesn't support opening files from the
Finder, the author (and damned if I could remember his name...) has that
feature listed in his "have to haves" in the docs.  GSXEdit has great
potential to be an all-purpose text editor.  I think it is the only editor
which will let you change the text and background colour info in Teach
documents.  Worth taking a look at.
