I never tried that.  Wow!  I had no idea that it could drag and drop text.

I don't know how to fix this.  It might have something to do with how the
rich edit control handles line-break chars.  I've noticed that saved files
edited with wee have music notes at the end of some lines.  There are
control messages that change soft-breaks and hard-breaks but I can't
figure them out.  The edit control might need the two-char linebreaks (CR
& LF) in order to work correctly.  I'm reading in the file with gets(),
which I'm guessing only has a single CR char at the end, so perhaps that's
where the problem is.

This is my wish list too.  Except I'm not sure how to do that stuff.  I
know the rich edit control supports color and any font... but I haven't
figured out how to do it.  The editor is pretty much limited to the
abilities of the rich edit control.  I released the editor with the hopes
that someone else would know how to make it better.  This is why I changed
the name to Wimpy EE instead of Windows EE.

Thanks, Jesus.
