Text Editor That Opens Hidden Files [solved]

Why not try this?  To edit hidden files, I just use symlinks to them...

ln -s .yourfilename yourfilename

At least on my sl5500 (Sharp ROM), it works great to make hidden files and directories visible and easy to access.  I use this often.  When you edit yourfilename, .yourfilename should get edited.

just use a file manager like rox and use the sendto feature to send the file to a text editor

Text Editor That Opens Hidden Files [solved]

Yes,  I did uninstall the previous version....don't remember where I got the 0.8.9 ipk.  I think I got it online somewhere in somebody's feed.  Will try another version and will try out the snapshot utility you pointed me to.  Don't know what GTK2 is but will snoop around and find out.    

Thanks for the guidance.

(The following is just an "aside"):
I cluelessly installed icew from the feed AND ROX.  I really don't know what I'm doing.  I followed directions here  to install ROX and I am impressed with the look of the desktop...still feeling my way around what is possible with ROX.

oh, by the way. check your Leafpad version in help about.
If pdaxrom beta3 comes with Leafpad 0.7.9 already installed, you'll have to uninstall it first, or 0.8.9 will not install correctly.
I had that problem in pdaxii13. I installed  when 0.7.9 was already installed and the package manager said I had 0.8.9 installed, and there were 2 different places on the desktop that had the leafpad icon, but both of them were 0.7.9
The very first thing I do when I've been re-flashing pdaxii13, (after adjusting light & power) is uninstall Leafpad. Otherwise I would forget to uninstall it later, then install 0.8.9 on it and have the mess I mentioned above.
