As a beginner I recommend Tex-Edit Plus, I use it for 50k text files
regularly and all my HTML. Scripting is easy and well documented for the
beginner. There are many helpful folks on this forum who make it easy to
script TE+.

out there that will not have a 32k max? I know that TextEdit in OS X does
