>[about Word and Nisus]

 To his comments let me add that I have tried the Nisus demo, and like it (but
 WHY didn't they include the help file?). My beefs are:

 o	RAM based. Uh-uh. Nope. Makes it darn hard to read LARGE files. Qued
 has the same problem.

 o	No tables. I use this Word feature ALL the time. I want this
 integrated, not some random add-on program.

 o	No color drawing on color Macs.

 If these things are fixed, I might buy Nisus, because it is nifty in other
 ways.

 ObParagonPeeve: What's happening with Qued? It's arguably the
 best text editor on the Mac. Upgrade it, guys! How about EZ-Grep for
 starters?
