I just got McSink V6.5 from the net and it looks good. I have found a few
things, though, that makes me hesitate to pay the shareware fee or even to
buy the full-featured commercial version.

A minor cosmetical bug: When I choose the Sort command and the window is 
positioned so the status display overlays the window menu bar, the highlight
of the Format menu (the one with Sort in it) is incorrectly restored - i.e.
a black frame remains around the word "Format". True, I could live with this,
but here is something more serious.

The text editor (in other aspects fine; can handle large [>32K] files) is
IMMENSLY slow. When I have typed a few words, I have to sit back and wait
for the characters to laboriously make their way to the screen. OK, it might
be my system configuration, although I don't think so (System 6.0.2, no INITs
except Suitcase II). If this were to be fixed, I might consider buying a
legitimate version, but not now.
