As I noted in ecsvax.2513, there are some incompatibilities between PC-WRITE
and the Compaq PC.  The only two I have noted are the fact that Shifted PgUp
and PgDn do not work as advertised and entering character 12 (form feed) with
Alt and the numeric keypad does not work.

These are VERY minor problems with easy work-arounds.  They occur because
PC-Write is playing with the keyboard scan codes which are somewhat incompatible
between the IBM PC and the Compaq.  I want to reemphasize that these are minor
problems, and I'm very happy with both PC-WRITE and the Compaq.

Anyone who buys the IBM portable PC has my sympathy.

Good luck,
