Notepad has a goto line number function.

I know this because, unfortunately, I get to use NotePad to debug JavaScript in IE because that's the only editor IE thinks is installed for viewing HTML. As to why I'm using IE ... well the pages I write for have to work in IE. :-) Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."

I did that on my Windows box, then went under IE's "Internet Options"/"programs" and Voila! there was the editor... Ah, the 'intuitive benefits' of MS-style integration...

It looks to me like the choice is controled by a registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.htm\\OpenWithList\\Notepad\\shell\\edit\\command You might play with the registry and insert your prefered editor. Alternately you might just remove the section from Notepad down, and let the system ask you what you want to use. If you do this be sure to save a copy of the registry hive first. Hugh
