Thanks for the review of WORD WRITER ST.  I'm thinking of changing from
1ST Word and have a couple of questions.

1) What kind of doc files does WWS generate?  1st Word creates a .doc file
that is incompatible with files not created in the WP mode.  If you look
at a 1st Word file, it looks like a huge string of letters.  If you save
a file that is not in the WP mode and try to reedit it in the WP mode, you
can't get REFORMAT to work on it.  This makes 1st Word incompatible with
files generated with other editors that store text with spaces imbedded.
Does WWS have this problem too or does the ASCII save to disk you mentioned
in your review solve this?

2) What kind of non-mouse cursor moves can you do with WWS?  I'm mostly
interested in a keyboard command to go the the beginning and end of a line.

3) Is the NEC 8023 printer supported?

Hope you can check these for me!

Thanks,
Bart
