	Hmm. Very interesting idea. CD-ROMs are becoming more and
more widespread. If CATS released the entirety of the series on
CD ROM, perhaps charged $150 or so for the CD, and included
programs to automate interfacing with the Amiga via word
processing, printer output, etc., I think CBM would have a
serious product, one that would improve efficiency.

	If, for example, from CED I press a function key that
signifies the autodocs, type a keywork, and then up pops a window
which I can cut-and-paste from...

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
