Saw a blurb about WP in ?BYTE boasting ( NOw I rememnber its for
the Windows version... ) that under W3.0 you can now
open 10 windows on a file or multiple files.

I fell down laughing!!!!

I've done the ten window trip since '86 on my 1MB A1000 !!!!

Shows you where BYTE is at, at least.

I like WP too and hope thy do upgrade our product.
