   You're right, Steve. I used SpeedScript from the time it was first printed
   in CG. I typed in the first version myself. I used it until I went back
   to Grad School and needed something better. I tried several and finally
   settled on Word Writer. V3 had several bugs, but was much better than
   I had been used to. I now use V5 which just came in the mail last week.
   This version has several fonts and usable graphix which can be incorporated
   into the text. It is very similar to Word Perfect for IBM, but understand-
   ably not quite as sophisticated. In addition to the spell checker, an
   on line thesaurus is available. Comes in handy when you are writing 
   heavy duty papers. I am currently using WW5 to write my dissertation in
   music at the University of Illinois.
