[texpoint-users] Feature request

[TexPoint]

 Hi Martin, 
 
 This seems like a good suggestion. We are keeping a list of possible future
extensions and we will add this to the list. Perhaps what we can do is to
extend the default "new display" to have a drop down list of "initial text".
This way you can have many defaults, without having separate buttons for
each.   

George.
