actually, its called "gedi" and should be rolled into the Tk800.017 release.
(if not, I think its in the widget demo) most of it is perl subs that Nick and I
scrunched into Tk::Text and Tk::TextUndo. It has all the functionality of the
textedit program on unix.

ok, ok, a lot of the underlying code is C (character inserts, and the like)
but, a lot of the higher level stuff is pure perl. (search and replace, undo/redo, etc)
never benchmarked it though...
