It's also possible to edit many formats of bit-map graphics in Acme, but I prefer to use a different tool. Perhaps a database rather than a text editor is the best way to edit large tuples, even if the representation is ASCII based? On the other hand, I understand the problem, and I wondered if an Acme tool is possible that handles columated data, allowing navigation and selecting of rows? (Is this a minimal spreadsheet program?) I decided in the end that the data should be handled by other tools and \include'd into the document I was writing. ian
