Really?  Funny, when I download text files, I have the option of
using any wordprocessor/editor I want as the file creator.  If you
use Smartcom II, this is as simple as going into the preferences
menu item and telling it what program you want to use to read these
files.  Other people use Red Ryder (ick!) and have the same
capability.  It isn't the computer, it's your taste in software.

Craig, Craig, Criag, as a med student you should know that this
sort of suppressed anger is bad for you.  Take a valium and relax.
This is just not that important.
