I'm soon going to be buying a 286 laptop and I need suggestions for a good
word processor for it.  Not just any old word processor, mind you, but one
that will allow multiple documents (without my having to go to a
Windows-based system).

Right now I own an Atari ST and use WordPerfect for Atari on it.  Although
this version is stuck at 4.2 (4.1 in the numbering system, but 4.2 in
functionality) is has the wonderful feature of allowing you to have 4
document windows active at any one time.  I've toyed with just switching to
WordPerfect for the PC, but I understand it only allows 2 active windows.

Are their any other word processors out there for the PC that allow more
than one or two windows/documents active at a time?
