I'd like the features TextEdit had before Lion. txt and rtf, able to add pictures, jpgs anyway. Also want the old Save & Save AS- no icloud, no versioning, etc. Suggestions please? Free would be nice but reasonable is fine. Also would be nice if it was available on the App Store.

Have you looked at Bean? It's free and worth a try.

I have Bean, never tried placing a photo.
Dropped a JPEG in, it worked great.
used Edit menu to size the photo.

Thanks for that. I DLed Bean and I'll give it a try. Much appreciated!
ST - are you implying that the old version (SL) of TextEdit runs OK on MT? I happen to have a drop-in SL DVD at hand.

I guess one smiley was not enough? I was thinking you could upgrade to 10.6 LOL

I thought it was just a SEG that you had it and I didn't

I've been removing virus from PCs for too long - it's wilting my brain.
