Now that I've *finally* upgraded my archaic early Atari 1040 ST to a new
1040 STe, and am in the process of ordering SIMMS to take me up to 4 meg, I
thought I'd ask the knowledgeable community here what public domain/shareware
desk accessories they'd recommend.  I've pretty much ignored the ST software
world because I run a dedicated piece of software (Dr. T's KCS) that uses
my meg quite easily; it also did not have a menu bar for a long time.  Now
I'd like to take advantage of the machine and get:

A printing notepad
A calculator
A phone/address application
A command line/utility application
Anything else nifty I've either forgotten or did not realize I should have.

Also, any recommendable AUTO folder items, or anything else I *must* have.
My requirements are that the software be publicly available, be smooth to
use, and have been written to play by the rules (ie, won't interfere with
other software).  Niftiness counts. I don't mind paying for and DO pay for good
shareware.

If replies are emailed to me directly, I'll assemble them into a 'recommended
public domain/shareware profile' and post that to the net.

Thanks for any and all information,

Phil Z
