I think RHIDE 1.4.7 have a version of my editor that uses just TEXT. The last 
version uses OEM_TEXT but isn't yet available. (It was discused in the list 
some time ago).

BC IDE and TurboVision applications have a heap for history strings my editor 
saves the available entries, so it could be one or more, the limit depends on 
how many histories the user is using globally. As the editor saves more than 
one history it ensures the history size doesn't get huge (making the desktop 
file huge and eating too much memory).
