When you open a file that is a text file format (for example, TXT, TAB, or BlueButton), the Ultra File Opener Text Viewer opens with the text displayed in the view area. Refer to the Viewer page for an example. What distinguishes the UFO viewers from one another is the menu bar and status bar. All the file functions are controlled in these two areas.
