I can't speak from direct experience since I use BBedit on a Mac, which
handles all types of record separators with equal aplomb, however my
compatriot at Allegro, Michael Hensley, swears by UltraEdit, a shareware
programmer's text edior for Windows. He tells me it handles all types of
record separators, does syntax coloring for a variety of languages, and has
lots of other neat features. I would tentatively guess that this is your
"perfect" text editor.
