<div dir="ltr"><div>A clarification about point 1 below: If I open a file or select "new" in the file menu it creates a new window and I'm able to save the text from that new window. Its just when I run the program and type text into the visible frame of the original window that there are no "save","save as","print" etc. menu items in the file menu.<br>

The idea is that it has the usual text editing features but also buttons where I select text and then based on which button I click on the selected text is manipulated in different ways. I'm just building the gui part now. I started using just racket/gui but then tried to implement some things in "framework" but I'm having trouble with a few things and I can't figure out how to do them from the documentation.</div>
