I think you are right. Coincidentally, yesterday my ISP seems to have
dropped USENET, making my news-server-compiled-into-the-binary copy of
tin less than useful. I got an account with Eternal September and will
start learning MT-Newswatcher.

Because TextWrangler requires
TextWrangler -> File -> Open Hidden...
Then you have to remember to check the [X] Show Hidden items
And you have to change Enable: to "Everything"

Or at least that is what I had to do, and this is a pain to
explain to an inexperienced user that is afraid of nano, vi, Vim,
emacs, etc...

Fraise just requires the Fraise (or Smultron) -> File -> Open
Hidden... and not extra dialog box explanations.

Besides that, I like TextWrangler.

I finally figured it out. I had to make a .nanorc file with the
following two lines:

unset nowrap
set fill -8

That was it. My ISP has also fired back up their newsserver so I have
tin back too. Feet back in old slippers.
