The biggest problem (I think) that the original poster will have to
overcome is wp's inane and stubborn insistence on saving the edit
buffer to a wordperfect document.

If anyone has a command line defined macro for wp that overwrites the
default function key used for a document save to force an ascii save
please post it!  Otherwise, my users will never use email.  Sigh.
