I agree with you about the sizes of the fields in the find/replace
dialogue box.
If you like to write long GREP expressions you can use he command-E and
command-option-E to write them in BBEdit regular window then put them
into BBEdit Find/Replace.
With the Classic Mac OS I used to use Nisus Writer for creating
web-pages and it was fabulous. Unfortunately the "X" version of Nisus
Writer is not yet anything like as powerful as the classic version.
Nisus Writer was, as I'm sure you know, an immensely powerful text
editor as well as being a word processor :)
I think I'm getting into the way of BBEdit now though it is taking time
to adjust to it. I've only been using it for a few months as I only
changed to OS X a few months ago with my new Intel iMac. Being an Intel
Mac it won't run classic OS so no more Nisus Writer and hello BBEdit.
