The built in editor/word processor is generally considered one of the least
effective features of the PLUS/4.  I would not recommend a PLUS/4 to your
friend, perhaps a C/64, but even then I'm not sure you'll find the level of
word processing features available that you're looking for.

Anybody else have any suggestions?
