Three? Funny, I can only find KWrite. :-) My vote is still to keep KWrite (and hey, even Windoze has both Notepad and Wordpad); I prefer having a lean-and-mean editor. Kate-app always seemed like it had too many bells and whistles to be the Linux 'notepad'. What's the third, though? -- Matthew DOS Attack: See America Online -- my college room mate _______________________________________________ KWrite-Devel mailing list KWrite-Devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kwrite-devel
