	I am looking for a word processor or a desktop publishing
software that is script-manager compatible. 

	Somehow, none of the word processors or desktop publishing
softwares that I know of are 100% compatible with Chinese Talk 1.0.  MS
Word messes up with the cursor position; MacWrite and Ready-Set-Go do
not handle line-feed properly; MacWrite II messes up even more under the
Chinese system. I suppose script-manager is some kind of standard that
Aplle has set up. I don't understand why nobody follows it. Is it a lot
of work to make a product script-manager compatible?

	(I guess TeachText is the only script-manager compatible
product, but its functionality is too primitive).

	I need a script-manager compatible product that does the basic
wordprocessing, provides double columns, and has a horizontal scroll
bar.  I heard that some other countries did procude such products, I
like to have the detailed information on them.  Thanks.
