i've been thinking about how too produce simple html
and arbitrary text formatting based on piping the text
through a script.

i think it fits in with the model, i nearly have a first cut
[based on the netlib lunix sam].

the plan is this, on button 2:

    - after Search there's another menu entry (if necessary)
    - selecting/clicking on it runs the last |cmd on the selected text

so, with a few scripts:

    html/i
    html/b
    ...

you can format the text, say:

    C/comment

i coded most of it today (when i wasn't coding FPGA drivers).

i think it's a good idea 'cos it fits the model and uses no built
in programability; it's a small amount of code.

i'm very close to having it coded and after it's been tested
i'll post the rcs diffs.
