 A nice feature for StyledEdit would be a way to refresh the current file,
 i.e. a menu item File|Reload (ALT+L] that reloads the file. Could be nice
 for log files or if you accidentally edited a document.[[BR]]
 If the document was altered after it was opened, it should ask if the
 changes should be saved first and show a save dialog if the user confirms.

 Besides this manual reloading, it may also be nice to node-monitor the
 file and signal if it has been changed after it was opened. I could
 imagine that an Alert would be too annoying. How about showing a changed
 file by adding a italic "''- reload?''" or something or just some symbol
 like "¤¤¤"?
