Thanks, Patrick. Rich. Notebooks are a cool feature and command-clicking does the trick with a nice path list. I think I had done that but blew past the path components as being recents, or something like that.
I use BBEdit for many things. Coding, troubleshooting ePub (which are just zip files), and for examination of other document types that are actually zip archives. Being able to open and modify zip files without extracting them outside of BBEdit - man, that's nice! For many purposes, BBEdit is indispensable. BBEdit is my favorite for plain text writing. I prefer it to more consumer-y Markdown editors like iaWriter and that's a good case for notebook files. It works like Scrivener for plain text if Scrivener had BBEdit's power. Which it doesn't. BBEdit is a very cool product. Thanks again, Patrick and Rich, both for the answer I needed and your patience with such a pedestrian question!
