I use Textedit all the time on OSX and never have a crash at all...and if you're coding by hand use BBEdit Lite, OSX native, fast, stable and free, with far better search&replace functions. What version of OSX are you using? If it's not 10.2, upgrade, period. If you are, run Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions on your boot volume. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
