Thanks Thierry,
When I delete the "kate" directory in ".trinity/share/apps/"  the next 
time I open "apps" it's back...   Maybe respawning was the wrong 
word ?

Lisi, It's R14.0.  I hadn't checked "KControl".  But now you have 
pointed it out I will check there.  Thanks.

Gerhard,
Thanks for the instructions on changing its priority in "Application 
Preference Order" seems to work.  At least it doesn't grab the "txt" 
files anymore.

Thanks all for your help, its appreciated.
