[Pythoncard-users] textEditor sample

A post by Thomas Heller on the wxPython-users list
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/wxPython-users/804764

got me thinking about simple text editors today (aka notepad). I really
haven't had time to digest all the document/view ideas in Thomas's post, but
I did take 45 minutes :-) to do a simple textEditor sample, which I've
checked into cvs.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pythoncard/PythonCardPrototyp
e/samples/textEditor/
One difference from other samples is that I made the file extension .pyw
rather than .py in order to avoid the console window appearing when the
sample is launched. Do not use this sample to do any real editing, always
work on copies of files you want to edit. There are some comments at the
beginning of the file about possible enhancements.

I'll be adding dialogs and perhaps exploring document/view architectures
with this sample. My mind is totally unfocused right now as I try and juggle
turtles, bitmaps, sizers, modal dialogs, and model view controller ideas, so
I'll probably wait until tonight or tomorrow before committing any dialog
stuff to cvs. I was hoping to get some comments on the dialog posts
yesterday before adding the files.
