Could you elaborate?  The ProWrite folks were at Commodore's NAB booth
demonstrating 2-column text for video script-writing.  Are you saying that
this must have been a fake of some sort?  Or are we dealing with different
versions of the program. I got a printout sample from the HP color ink-jet
they had (looked real nice) but didn't watch the actual demo of the program; I
was too busy looking at the Video Toaster demo next door.
