My Notepad Style Project

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Heather,

Glad to help you :-)
Your handler is perfect.

About inserting or replacing text have a look at selectedField,  
selectedChunk and selectedText functions in the docs.
When you will master that you might think about implementing drag and  
drop text into your "Edit" field:
Then you will have something more powerful than Note Pad :-)
