Finally found this one!!!

1. Make .txt file. 2. Add this for Firefox: <body contentEditable="true" onload="load()"> Or both that and this for IE: JavaScript: function load(){ 

 window.document.designMode = "On";

} 3. Change it to an .html file. 4. Create a bookmark for the file. You can use "Google Shortcuts" if FF easily, or check out "Custom Buttons" and the user forum.

SOLVED! For me, at least. You can edit as you please, and then save the file fro your browser. When it reloads, Its all there!! ALso check out: "It's all text!"
