I've heard suggestions that, if plain TextEdit is too simple for your
editing needs, then somewhat fancier editors can be built by using TextEdit
as a "paragraph engine".  I haven't heard any details.  Would anyone here
like to explain, ramble, froth, or otherwise expand on this topic?
   For instance, is this done by using one smallish TE record per editor
window and copying text in and out of the record as needed?  What problems
besides TextEdit size limits does it solve?
