Thank you for the compliment and tip. Yeah I had been aware of Notepad++ but didn't know if it was completely free (and of course, now that I took the time to check out the page, it obviously is) and I was impressed that someone got SciTE running on their corporate old laptop, so I decided to go with the lowest denominator. Will definitely checkout Notepad++. Anything with code coloring and Regexp is about all that's needed.
