 CH> Has anyone found a program which will let you read long text files.  That
 CH> is, one which will let you read for a while, quit, and hold your place so
 CH> you can come back tomorrow and read some more.

What I do is use wordperfect, and when I want to quit, I just block
off the file from where I am, to the top, and cut it off, and then
save it under a different name.  When I come back tomorrow, I bring
up the cut file, and I am where I left off.  I still have the cut
file, which I can do the same thing to if I don't finish reading it
today.  I also have the original file that is why you save it under
a new name.

[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Chris: there is a program called Ralph.exe which should do what you
want. When you bring up a document with ralph and leave to come back
later or even the next day, if you remember where you were when you
quit you can jump to that point and start reading again. You might
try that one.
