I finally got my ST back and tried WordUp3.0.  Unfortunately,
although it is supposed to do things differently from the
earlier versions wrt GDOS, you still need to use GDOS.  I say
unfortunately because when using DCDESKTOP and GDOS, the
former does not seem to work...Is this a documented bug?  or
even a bug at all?  While we're on this subject...does G+PLUS
correct this situation, i.e. allow one to use GDOS fonts with
DCDESKTOP?
Post to the net or email me directly.
Thanks very much.

PS  When booting with GDOS (which was installed by WordUp
Instal Prg) it seems as if DCDESKTOP is loading, but when the
desktop appears, clearly it hasn't loaded.  I changed GDOS.PRG
to GDOS.PR and rebooted...and everything worked fine.
One more thing...for those of you about to instal WordUp, I
had to get rid of all my auto programs before the instal
program would instal wordup (cf. the wordup manual).
