For reference:
========
Text Filters [page 40]
The Text Filters folder contains executable items, such as compiled AppleScripts, Automator workflows,
text factories, and Unix filters, which you may ** apply to the frontmost document ** via the
Apply Text Filter command in the Text menu.
========
Please also note that 'man bbedit' contains no reference to `--apply-text-filter` :-)
