I double checked this by converting a WfW doc to RTF format, converted 
to a Works document via the Works file conversion command.  I made some
slight changes in Works, converted it back to RTF, then accessed and printed
it from WfW again.  And the document printed out identically, except for
the slight changes I made.  So, it would seem that Works can indeed be
used as a low-cost RTF word processor -- with the help of the file 
conversion commands..  I'd never be willing to give up WfW, though.
