Neither program stores this information in a TEHandle, since they both
use application code instead of TextEdit to manipulate the contents of
text windows.  This is both for performance and so documents can exceed
32k in size.  I presume the text is kept in an application-specific
data structure, about which you may be able to obtain information from
the software manufacturer.
