	In response, Homer Robson of Develcon Electronics, Saskatoon,
	Sask. REPLIES....

	I would like to see an NROFF like post processing wordprocessor
	packaged with a cut and paste editor (like DEC's EDT).

	The most important features of the editor being, the cut and
	paste, multiple buffers, user programmable special functions.
	Scrolling up and down, search/replace,....

	The post processor, must have auto numbering of sections
	(.SE, .SB, .SS), numbered lists(.BN, .NX, .EL), Tables, Table of
	contents, cover pages, inserts of formatted text from ??? (.BI, .EI).
	Labled paragraphs(.LP, .LE) ... lots more, but a subset of the
	full NROFF processor would be nice.

	The specs for the VT100 communications package would be a nice
	subset of the editor. It would also be nice if the above
	packages were  1541 FLASH! compatable (ie. fast).
