I don't like WYSIWYG at all. I *MUCH* prefer nroff/troff output. It's much more powerful. I have yet to see a pc word processor which will handle automatically-numbered lists (admittedly my experience with such programs is small, precisely because I check out the docs and see that they don't do what I want and don't bother with them) and lists are something I generate all the time on UNIX. Why pick on nroff/troff, anyway? It's not even *on* Apples - if it is, please let me know where I can get it! -- Sue McKinnell ...!att!ihlpf!suem IH 6N311 x5313
