Then typesetting documents, you don't often need to be able to underline since
you have boldface and italic fonts available.  On a "dumb" ASCII printer, you
would underline book titles, etc, where you really should have used italics
instead.

Of course, I guess people wanted it bad enough, so yes, underlining is
indeed in the 2.0 version of WriteNow.
