Mom wants to learn word processing, and she wants to use my Amiga (I'll be backing up the hard disk daily now, eh?). I don't think I could write enough ARexx scripts to make CygnusED and Tex to be Mom-friendly. I don't know anything about the <$100 WP market. Please respond via mail so we don't bore too many people. I guess the #1 importance is a manual that explains word processing from "moving the mouse" and then gets progressively easier :-) The number 2 priority is crash proof; I don't think I could explain to her how to interpret the GURU numbers :-) The number 3 priority is that it cost about $70-$100. ...and no wise-cracks about how much my $$$ my mother is worth. This is difficult enough. :-) Wysiwyg would be nice, having the printer in graphics mode all the time is ok, but not required. Thanks in advance. Tom P.S. Hmmmm... I wonder what's happening at DevCon... -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University
