I'm on 10.3.9; sorry if I misled you. IMHO the behavior you describe
sounds pretty annoying for a text editor. If I want to edit text, it's
only logical that I'd turn to something called "TextEdit" to do so,
while if I want to view rendered HTML, the application name "Safari"
suggests that perfectly. Er, well, actually Safari suggests something
more like a pith-helmeted, khaki-clad white male on the African plains
blasting away at a charging rhino while the "help" does all the hard
work of carrying stuff, beating the grass for snakes, etc. That's
nothing at all like viewing a Web page which kind of undermines my
argument but I'm not one to be persuaded by logic when my opinion is
threatened.
