   Yes, it is very handy for a quick/minor edit to a menu file, or a logon    
   display file, or similar.  Certainly much easier than using an ANSI    
   editor and then the ans2asc utility, unless it's a major change or a new    
   file perhaps.   
      
      
      
      
   ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
