Those are all apps I don't use. :-) (Mail doesn't manage my email in a way that's compatible with all the platforms I use, TextEdit is too much of a half-way house between emacs and Pages, and I don't use Stickies because they don't synchronize with my phone.) Curious that our experiences of the same platform can be so different. In any case, it sounds to me like your requirements need something that is platform-specific. It is *that* different. And I've cited a number of definitely native apps where what 213 proposes is quite sufficient. Donal. |
