Thanks for all your suggestions.  I tried VIM, XEmacs, EditPlus and
Notepad++.  I didn't like the "Linux" GUI of VIM and XEmacs and gave
them up.  EditPlus and Notepad++ are OK, but they have a few flaws in
them:

1. EditPlus has a feature of "replace in all open files", but it
doesn't have a feature of "find in all open files".  It supports
Hebrew, but when I type in Hebrew I see all the words in א (such as
אאאא אאא).  Only when I refresh the window I see what I typed.

2. Notepad++ has both "replace in all open files" and "find in all
open files" features.  But it doesn't recognize Hebrew (Windows)
encoding.  It displays the Hebrew in such files as gibrish.

3. Both editors don't have the Notepad feature of aligning the text to
the right, which is very important when typing in Hebrew.  I guess
that I will have to keep using Notepad for Hebrew align-to-the-right
typing.

4. Both editors don't have a global "undo" feature for "replace in all
open files".  You have to undo in each file manually.

So in general, both EditPlus and Notepad++ are OK for me, but far from
perfect.  I will start with Notepad++ since it's GPL & free, and maybe
I'll switch to EditPlus later.  I wouldn't mind paying if it didn't
have these flaws.

For windows development, I use Editplus, which is a developer editor with lots and 
lots of tools (including search & replace in files). Its a shareware program 
which costs $30 for lifetime updates and I have to say that even though I rarely 
used it in the last few years (where I don't get many MS-Windows hours, maybe 2-3 
hours/month), I still would have bought it.
