I have several problems with the new Edit text processor, called Edit II V 1.0.2. Can anyone shed some light on this? 1) Prints backwards - This processor insists on printing to a laserwriter first page last. Unless I open the side door of the printer, I need to sort the pages to the proper order. Is there some way to stop this like MacWrite II can? 2) Prints the date in the header - This is a nice feature but I would love to be able to turn it off as my file names tend to have the date embedded. This has caused me confusion on multiple ocassions. 3) Lack of large clip board - There are times when I want to cut & paste a large quantity of text. Edit II cannot handle 1/4 the amount of text copied to the clipboard that Edit 2.1 can. Is there a way around this?

Is this correct? Can it be remedied??

Edit II doesn't like filename that includes ";" in it. On a related note, my impression on Edit II is that Edit II is a RAM-based text editor. While I love the simplicity of Edit II, I need a disk-based text editor in order to deal with some of the very large text files. Of course, I can use Word 4.0, but I'd rather not deal with word processors in this case. So my question is, are there any disk-based text editor that resembles Edit II? I want it to be applications (so McSink is out) and I want it to be freeware/shareware (so Qued/M is out). Chang -- Chang P. Woo Chang.P.Woo@dartmouth.EDU (preferred) changwoo@eleazar.dartmouth.EDU
