I've got a nifty 15 line utility that anyone could complete called NOTEPAD.
Basically is it like EDIT (pick) except it copies the Pick file to a known
PC filename (C:\notepad.txt) and starts notepad. I and users can edit
textfiles simply (don't try data files as there's no line numbers) and when
you close notepad, you're left with a pick prompt that you simply hit <cr>
to import the record back to pick. Works on native as well as networked pick
systems.

Example:

NOTEPAD FILE ITEM

my 2 cents.
