Hi netters,

My problems are inches and letter sized paper formats. I would very much
like to have centimeters and A4 sized paper as a [default] default!

Yes, I DO know of dwrite and that this can be used to set defaults. I 
have set as many defaults as I could this way (especially the A4) but
not all applications read these defaults.

I would like to get WriteNow to have A4 as the default for the paper
size (it affects the layout on the scrren too) and centimeters as the
default unit (rulers!). I would also like Edit and the printer applications
to use centimeters BUT I can't find any way to accomplish that!

Can someone (NeXT??) help. It's a nuisance to have to configure the
layout each time I create a new file.

Thank's in advance

-Robert
