   RichEdit is built into windows and is fairly capable - WordPad is a very
simple use of RichEdit. [This URL will need unwrapping]

   RichEdit was previously used as the editor for Python source code within
PythonWin until Mark and I replaced it with Scintilla. Scintilla is better
than RichEdit for source code but worse for documents.

   In a quick search I couldn't find a Python demonstration of RichEdit.
