SimpleText

SimpleText is the native text editor for classic Macintosh Operating System. Simpletext allows editing including text formatting (underline, italic, bold, etc), fonts, and sizes. It can be considered similar to Windows' WordPad? application.

Simpletext evolved from TeachText? which was used to distribute "readme" documents.

In Mac OSX, Simpletext is replaced by TextEdit? which reads and writes documents rtf? format (OSX also includes vi as well as other unix-based command-line text editors).
