managing long text files

hi:
i have plenty of ebooks as text files, personal notes and more. On my pda i have a program called isilo to manage them. The good thing about isilo is that if I open a file it continues were i left so it is very practical to read books or deal with long text files.

i was wondering which app do you recommend to do this on osx.

thanks

It seems i have to...

It seems i have to manually add bookmarks to every file which is not so ideal. Also, why are this carbon and cocoa versions so big.(over 40mb).

I would use it but they are too big and slow compared to the command line version but this one doesnt support the meta or alt key.

what to do.

I just want a system to handle all my text files without using propietary formats of databases and that remembers where i opened the last file.

And if it supports green text over black background then...perfect!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
