# Programming is practical, however, with a text editor like TextPad or

# NoteTab. In fact, I have personally developed a text editor called

# TextPal, using the Ruby language and wrappers for the WxWidgets GUI

# library (which produces accessible controls unlike other

# cross-platform

# libraries). It is fully keyboard accessible and offers almost every

# feature I’ve found in a text editor (I compared many), and

# does so in a

# manner intended to maximize usability by blind persons.

# 

# For anyone interested, the installer for TextPal, a free, open source

# editor is available at the following direct download address:

# [http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/palsetup.exe](http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/palsetup.exe)

# It may be easily uninstalled as well.

# 

# Under Windows, Ruby console mode utilities work well with a screen

# reader. These include irb, ri, and gem.

wow. it’s loaded complete indeed. I see 3900+ loc in there. Is that all  
the code?  
You are cool.
