Is Write, distributed on the  Windows 3.0 disk  for real?  I mean I started
using the thing and I like  the multiple fonts,  etc but  whenever I type I
see it refresh the screen in an obviously dumb algorithm of repainting lots
of things that are unnecessary and it's so damn slow when this stuff starts
happening.  Also, using the mouse  to  select the  whole file is  painfully
slow, even on a 1-2  page  document.   Do  I just have the thing configured
badly?

Is seems  more and more  apparent  to me that as  I  utilized the MicroSoft
provided Windows 3.0 tools, that they were  probably never meant to be real
live production type  tools to  actually get   work done, but just  toys to
demonstrate what window application can do.  Is this the case?
