If you'd ever used TextPad, you'd understand. In its prime, nothing repeat nothing could touch Textpad.

I've seen several articles discussing Linux editors for Textpad users who migrated. All of them say the same thing: there's no equivalent, so live with it.

(Now it's got unicode issues and is useful only in certain tasks for me.)

That was hard..

I must be good at painting myself as a shlub. :-)

Of course I trued a Grub GUI, and of course I tried making the change directly.

Whatever prevented these approaches from working, I don't know. I spent hours working on this, fiddling with files and looking for more info on the web. But what should have worked, didn't.

But thanks for taking the time to help straighten me out.

Roger
