Unfortunately, I'm in the UK. Thanks for the offer though.

I'm already working on hacking the renderer so that it doesn't discard
the source and create a fixed copy of the rendered page. In theory, you
could just render from the source each time, but that doesn't allow you
to treat the document as a tree (needed for style sheets and DHTML support).

What's wrong with ^G, btw, since that's already the quit-key for aborting
other activities, so why not for quitting textareas?

If there's already an internal editor, why isn't that used for textareas?
(or have I missed a great swathe of discussions?)
