i have a copy now of the Nisus 3.01 demo disk. it does look like
a very nice WP package. but there are some features that i 
live or die by that i cannot find.
	- bibliographic  support
	- symbolic referencing
	  
	  eg, when i put a figure in FullWrite i have the ability
	  to refer to in the text of a paper in a symbolic manner.
	  the big win is that if the order of figures changes,
	  my text is updated automatically with the appropriate
	  figure number.


maybe these things exist in nisus and i just can't find them. eg,
XREF facility in Nisus would be a good guess for a symbolic referencing
facility but i can't figure out how. (it might help if the HELP files
were shipped with the demo disk...)


so... for those folks already using Nisus for real - does it have
	symbolic referencing or not, and if it does, how do you use it?

thanks,
