I'm trying to revamp notepad a little. In particular, I'm trying to add the "select font" option to it. This is problematic under the RICHEDIT control, as each character there can, potentially, have it's own font.
In addition to that, I see such programs as an important tool to unit test various components (in this case - the edit control). As a result, I am wondering whether anyone minds renaming the current notepad to "wordpad", and letting me convert notepad back to EDIT, and add the missing stuff? I promise to get around to wordpad later on.

I was going over the notepad code, and it is implemented using richedit. My question is - why? There is no functionality there that is not also available through the usual Edit control. The Windows notepad is notoriously implemented via the edit control. Is there a special reason why our notepad is different here?
Since we had no a way to display .wri and .rtf files provided by many applications (readme's, etc.) it was decided to simply extend notepad instead of creating a wordpad replacement from scratch.
