There is an TSR program, that, among other usefull things, such as calculator, ASCII table, etc, as also got what is called the 'Notebook'; the idea beyond this editor was, I presume, copied from 'the good old WordStar', the editor from where Turbo Pascal 3 'borrowed' some ideas. The whole editor is 'control-driven' (so to speak), just as TP3. Ooops, I almost forgot telling you what it is... It's name is SideKick and it is a product from Borland. Recently they have released a new version, which also as an agenda, whith an alarm clock and a lot of other things. The idea is that such a 'system' is memory resident, and you can invoke it inside 'any' other application. There is, of course a side effect, it is memory consumming... -- ------ Joao Paulo B.
