Another good WP for the Commodore is The Write Stuff by Busy Bee Software. A
legal copy costs only about $15 from a user group and comes complete with
manuals and a terriffic intuitive spell checker. If you don't know of a group
that sells TWS you can try Meeting 64/128 Users Through the Mail, r1 box 151,
St Joseph IL 61873.
