I like it. I have to ask though, when editing a large file, is there a way to seek to a particular offset aside from scrolling for ages? If not I think that would be a high priority feature to add (2nd place would probably be a search function). On Sun, 10 Feb 2013 13:53:45 -0500, Mateusz

Egads - you are very right to remind me there Dennis and Rugxulo - defragging is a bit of a reflex habit from my time as a disgruntled MS user, I never consider it in my (user-level) Puppy Linux. I'll give DOSFSCK a run, as I still query the format process on the SD-card. Thanks too for the Chess

Hi! No, you do have to scroll for ages as you say :) Currently, you can only go up/low pgup/pgdown and home/end. You are right - this (jump to offset) and a search feature are on the todo list and definitely need to be added in the next version. Thanks for your feedback! Mateusz TJ Edmister
