Re: Is Windows Write for real?

You should try using the HP NewWave environment.

It supplies you with NewWave Write, which on first
examination, seems to be a clone of the already provided
Windows Write.  But if you examine it more closely, it is
much better to use.

The constant refreshing problem seems to be absent.

The ruler line is easier to understand (IMHO).

A really superb feature is the NewWave Help facility.  It
picks up where Windows Help leaves off.  The neatest thing
about it is the ability to point to any object, area, icon,
etc. that is in the window and get help for it.  There is no
need to scroll an index trying to find a description of the
thing you can so clearly see and want help for.

Another convenience is the "done" button which you can use
after you've been helped, instead of double-clicking on the
upper-left window control button, to close the window. The
"done" button is much larger and needs less accuracy on your
part to hit it.  And its purpose is more obvious to the end-
user.
