Long-Text

A simple tool to store and display texts longer than a few lines.

The search button will highlight all the words matching the name of objects that are members of the classes listed in searchedClasses, itself a member of the KeySet class. The highlighted words are hypertext.

Edit invokes wscripts/acedb.editor, which by default launches emacs. Edit that file to start another editor in its place.

Save will recover from the emacs but will not destroy it.

Read will read a text file, so you could Search it.

general grep is a way to annotate a set of longtexts versus the searchedClasses. It outputs an ace file that you can then hand check and read back in acedb to create XREF from longTexts to genes etc.
