[PD] ...a more reasonable suggestion

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

We really don't want to get into maintaining a text editor in Pd when  
there are so many good ones maintained by other people.  But yes, a  
way to work with the text files would be handy.  Even better would be  
to make Pd better so that you don't have to edit the text files  
directly.
