-         Hello to all from a Neophyte Usenetter!!  It's great to be 
- able to communicate and exchange info with other st-users.  I want 
- to be on the record as saying that the ST is the best computer 
- around (for its price of course).
 
I agree.
 
-         Now to my question:  Does anyone know of a good text editor 
- that can be used as a desktop accessory?  I have TOS 1.2 on a 
- 520stfm w/ 1meg of ram.  It does not have to be loaded with options 
- - I will be using it to edit configuration files primarily.  I 
- have tried spirit-ed by it seems to lock-up frequently.
 
I must recommend STeno, but if you don't want to spend the $30 list 
for STeno and STalker, there's also a pretty good PD text editor 
called Notepad.  I'm not sure if it's at atari.archive though.  I
think there's also something called Diary which I've heard is pretty 
good.
