Does anyone know of a program (perhaps TSR, perhaps not) which turns
a PC into a simple typewriter, perhaps with a bit of memory.
	I have a Panasonic 1191 (Epson FX-86 compatible), and I'd like
to use its friction feeder to type out envelopes one by one, and type
up forms.  A word processor simply isn't adequate for this purpose --
impossible to line up envelopes, it seems, or to do forms line by line.
	Does Simtel20 have such a program?  Or will I have to break
down and purchase a low-tech typewriter just for filling in the odd
form?
	Please reply via net mail -- I'll summarize to the net.
