Small correction - they're called wordref-13-part1.hqx and wordref-13-part2.hq
(no hyphen between word and ref). I haven't tried this; I have tried Fullwrite,
which does most of what was requred, but badly needs a major revision to
fix loose ends/bugs. I'm looking forward to it (optimist - OK, but I prefer
the overall concept to MS Word, and would really like to see it properly
developed).
