Yeah, me too.

Yes, that's what I do.

I have to confess that I find the look and feel of WinPoint far more  
appealing than APoint. I've spent ages messing about with different  
combinations of font/colours in APoint but as yet, I haven't found a  
combination that suits me.

 AA> How goes your bolting an external editor in Winpoint?

It isn't :(

Although there's no setting in WinPoint for an external editor, I  
thought there might be something in the registry that I could tweak  
but there isn't :(

Martin
