	I am looking for a word processor to use with the C64 for
	compiling a news letter. Following are a list of things that I
	think may be important in this task. If you can comment on your
	favorite processor, and mail the comments to me, I will
	summarize and post to the net.

		- Editor convenience... scrolls up & down, page fwd,
		page back, search, s/replace, 80 col option, (vi like??).

		- Ability to move blocks of text.

		- Ability to read in other files, or include portions
		of text from external files.

		- Capability of printing page headers & footers.

		- Automatic table of contents ???? (NROFF like)

		- right or left or fill justify.

		- Previewing of finished product prior to printing.

		- Document length limitations, & chaining capabilities.

		- multiple collumn output.

		- Performance of the spelling checker option.(speed,convenience)

		- mailing list and text insert list capability for
		personalizing batch letters.

		- What printer interfaces are supported... I don"t have
		an interface yet.

		- Ability to make use of spreadsheet files. Esp.  MULTIPLAN

		- Compatability with 1541FLASH  (a nice disk drive speed option)

		- Price of the processor.

		- Any other comments that you have..........??

Please reply by mail to the path below. I will summarize to the net if
there is sufficient interest. Thankyou,...
