So far I have used the word pad.. to open direction files... easy for the find this and replace.
Then I have been using the arachnophilia as my main editor... has a handy paste plain text.
I downloaded the beyond compare and have been playing with that ...nice tool for comparison.
I have lots hacks in now... didn't document them inside script... I have trouble when I add new hacks over the old ones.. yikes.
When I add a new hack I create a originals file and load the unaltered ones that work in to that... so when I blow my copy and paste I can recover. That seems to be working pretty good so far.
That topstyle editor for stylesheets is sweet. Now if I can get those dang table wrappers working...
I have a copy of ultra edit that needs some funding... I realy like it for coding with the line numbers when I get parse errors I can look to see some of the real basics.
thanks for all the great ideas.. off to try a few of them.
