I've been using SImple Text to write my CGI's for a while and it works great, but lately my scripts have been getting long. Recently, I tried to paste some code into an already long Simple Text file and it wouldn't accept it. It said (to paraphrase) the limits of the Simple Text file had been reached.

What do I use now? I have tried with Dreamweaver, but it starts throwing in random tags that mess up the script every time i go into edit, and it doesn't look like word perfect will work because of embedded code.

I must have other options. If they're out there, I figured you guys would know where to point me.

thanks monks,
