There was (and is) no facility for setting the creator of whatever you're building. I was told almost two years ago that it would be available in the next release (that must be the 2.0 that is rumored to be coming soon). > 2) What are the differences between saving a document as > 'text only' and 'entire document'?

Saving as text only will create a file which can be read with other editors, a good thing. Entire document appears to save some tokenized binary image. Such a file opens a lot quicker in the editor(?) that LSP provides, saves breakpoints and other such things. I always save text-only when debugging changes force me to use that editor so that I can do my real editing with SigmaEdit or something similar.
