thanks all for the replies. doesn't seem there is the solution i hoped would
be availible (better find utility).

haven't noted the second gripe, you must be using a 2xxx cause there is no
partial shade of grey on my 120...i guess a checkered bullet would work
though. but yah, that would be more friendly than not having it.

i'm getting quite envious of 16 shades of grayscale on the 2xxx's...hehe.

my next grocery list i whack together (soon) i'm gonna try out laurents
newtgrocery program, i have only just glanced at it, but it looks piles
better than doing it in notes.

his geeksafe is also something i was previously using just the notepad for,
but is much friendlier...though maybe not entirely neccesary for the
hardcore barebones user i tend to be.
