hey folks,

I suggest you test drive Pepper (currently at version 3.6.6b) from
www.hekkelman.com. Its a nifty little shareware text editor that
will let you do file modification (find/replace) on batches of files
(you can specify open windows, file names, recursive directories,
include files). Carbon, so it works in 9 & X, and a nice $40 price
that won't break the bank. About 1.5 Mb in size. Plus, all the
other nice features a good text editor should have, including grep
style searches...

cheers,
dan.
