Ahhh.  That's cool.  For a single document at least.

Hrm.  Interesting for a "desktop" application.  I might look further
into that, but I think I'm looking for some more basic "hacker" type
tools first.  Something like grep but it doesn't have to be grep -- I'm
just trying to illustrate that something at the CLI would be nice to
start.  GUI tools are nice but when they don't work, they become more of
a hindrance than a help and being able to fall back to more basic tools
is useful.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
