Thank you, Pete.  It looks just what I want.  The document is data for a 
engineering structural analysis program (usually plain ascii, though in future 
it might be unicode).  The line of code that you gave, looks just what I am 
looking for.  It is a shame I do not understand how document() relates to 
textEdit widget - is it meant to be an instance of textEdit?

I guess I should try it out on the assumption that there is a code line 
someting like 

document = self.textEdit ?

Thank you again - very kind of you to reply and do it so promptly.

Al.
