Hi Chris, Many thanks for the tip on Jedit Ω (used the Tex-Edit Plus special chars popup for "Ω"). I've downloaded the Jedit web edition and will be poking around in it. So, from Texas to Japan. Of course you risk questions about using Applescript with it! Not sure the BBedit forum would be thrilled. So far I’ve managed to tell Jedit Ω to activate. A start. I notice $20 Canadian to unlock the full find capabilities. Does it allow wildcard searches (and handle $ in the friendly scripting-for-the-rest-of-us Tex-Edit way), I wonder.
Great that Tom got a family, etc. and I wish him well — although it’s a pity he didn’t convert T-E+ to 64-bit first 🤪. Priorities!
