I'm new to the net, and I've been having a *great* time following the
various discussions.  What I really want to know though, is where I can
get my hands on a *real* wordprocessor.  By that, I mean one which sub-
scribes to the What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get philosophy.  As a writer, and
a CS major, I hate the Macintoy, but it's philosophy of showing on the screen
what's going to come out on the paper is a great idea.
I don't need to import graphics.  I don't need interlace mode (a la ProWrite).
I *do* need headers and footers, page numbering, underline, italic and bold.
I don't *need* more than one font, though the option would not be unwelcome.
Use of the mouse to position the cursor and select text is also a plus (it's
faster than the cursor keys).  Keyboard equivalents of commands is *very*
important.  I've heard Word Perfect is out, but I can't locate it anywhere.
Places around here say it's not shipping yet, but a few weeks ago I saw a
letter on the net in which the author (whose name eludes me) claims to have
this program.  Any info would be *greatly* appreciated.  You can email me or
(if you think interest warrants it) post it on the net.

I just want to say what a great idea this net is.  I love reading comments
and criticisms, and I hope to soon be posting some programs of my own.

Thanx in advance for any assistance.
