There is only one "do-file text editor" that I 
know of, and that is Stata's, in the sense that 
-doedit- has built-in understanding of what a 
do file does. But any text editor can be used to 
edit do files. 

Vim can print syntax highlighting in color. 
Also in colour. It looks very nice, temporarily, until
I cover it with red pen in fixing bugs, infelicities, 
and inefficiencies. 

Seriously, if you are used to TextPad you are a long 
way down the Windows route, and it should take more
than this need to make you want to climb the Vim 
learning curve -- unless you were happy to jump in 
and out of Vim just for this purpose.
