UltraEdit gives me all the capabilities that have been touted as unique to Bat in response to my post.
If I want hard CRLFs, I can put them anywhere. If I want to put the cursor anywhere, I can do that. If I want the view to reflect the current model data perfectly, I just turn off word wrap! If I am ready to send a message that I've typed into UltraEdit, I just "Convert wrap to CRLF" at the current window boundary and bingo, paste into Bat and send. UltraEdit even lets me work in "column mode" where I can manipulate "columns" of text as a block, such as inserting "> " on each line. Model/view is a very well-known and well-established software design principle. It adds a great deal of flexibility to any editor. But for those who actually like Bat editing, UltraEdit can imitate that too. Such is the power of model/view design!
