Index is designed to help you organize all your notes, phone numbers,
addresses, and other things that you want to remember into one simple
program that is easy to use.

Index Includes the following functions:
- The Tray Icon:
- When you start the program, a small icon will appear in the System
Tray next to the clock and also on the Desktop. Right click for the
context menu or double click to open the main Index Program.

- The Index Program:
- Index is a simple program designed to save your memos and notes and
organize them in a manner similar to a tabbed index card file.
Choose the appropriate tab for your notes. You may also add and
remove tabs. All the functions are also available from this part of
the program.

- Editor:
- Editor is a text editor similar to Notepad

- Quick Notes:
- Quick Notes is an easy way to quickly write yourself a note and if
you wish, to print it out. The Quick Notes program operates similar
to the Index program. Just type your notes in the text box and close
the program. Right click in the text box to open the Menu. The Quick
Notes Window can be resized to any dimensions that you wish.

- Reminder:
- Reminder is a simple program designed to help you remember Dates,
Appointments, and other things.
- There are four types of Reminders to choose from:
- Reminder, the most flexible, allows you to choose the Date and
Time of your Reminders and also an Interval between Reminders.
- Weekly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day
of the week instead of a particular date, you use the Weekly
Reminder function.
- Daily Reminder, When you wish to be reminded every day instead
of a particular date, you use the Daily Reminder function.
- Monthly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day
of the Month instead of a particular date, you use the Monthly
Reminder function.

Vim:

A steep learning curve but once you know it you have a powerful text
editor that runs on more platforms than you would believe.

Is there a version of vim with tabbed windows?
(I know about the : commands, but they are not
nearly as convient as tabs).

Yes. It's not "real" gui tabs, but they are tabs and work like tabs. GUI
Tabs are on the list of wants for VIM 7 that is now in development. See
item 11 on the VIM 7 requested features page:
http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php

Tabs in VIM 6 -
MiniBufferExplorer
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=159

From the URL above -
Several modern GUI editors list your open buffers as tabs along the top
or bottom of your screen (VisualStudio, DreamWeaver, EditPlus and
UltraEdit come to mind), now we have this feature in VIM!

You can quickly switch buffers by double-clicking the appropriate "tab"
(if you don't want to use the mouse just put the cursor on the "tab" and
press enter). As you open and close buffers the tabs get updated.
Buffers that are modified get visually marked and buffers that are open
in a window get visually marked. The -MiniBufferExplorer- opens
automatically when you open more than one eligible buffer (no need to
open the explorer if you’re only editing one file.) -MiniBufExplorer-
doesn't bother showing non-modifiable or hidden buffers. You can delete
buffers by selecting them and pressing d on the keyboard.

Did they add syntax hiliting to the freeware version? It's not listed
anywhere on their site (that I can find anyway).

OOPs!

I actually use Notetab Pro, and forgot which features were in what version.

PSPad (mentioned in next post) has extensive and customizable syntax
hilighting, but I can't recall if it uses regular expressions

I does (at least v. 4.3.3 does). The Help file is quite informative
about the use of regular expressions. Imho PSPad is a freeware beauty.

Q.
