These are the only ones that I don't know if BBEdit has. For all the 
others all I could do was say "check".

I am using BBEdit (the full version) and love it. While I did look at 
Alpha briefly I found that it became too complicated with too many 
options. BBEdit is just much "cleaner" to work with (IMHO).
