Summary: MacWrite CAN do indented paragraphs

     I agree that MacWrite badly needs a push/pop-ruler mechanism, but I
thought it might be of general interest to know that MacWrite is already
capable of doing indented paragraphs, a la .ip in -me.  If you push the
little paragraph indentation marker in the ruler to the left of the left
margin, the first line of the paragraph will have a tag indented to the
left of the left margin.  A tab gets you back to the left margin to type
the paragraph body.  If the tag is longer than the indentation, I think you
have to use return and then a tab.
