     I've been working with Stylograph lately but it isn't without
its problems.  I'm using the /term driver that was posted on the
Net some time ago.  The CoCo version of Stylo doesn't work properly
with it.  The cursor disappears and you really can't edit effectively
with a full screen editor and no cursor.

     I bought the Full 6809 Stylograph recently to try to correct the
problem, but it has its own problems.  My current version can't find
/P to do my printouts.  Furthermore, under Level I OS-9 on the CoCo,
Stylo can only handle a bit over 1 page in memory, which is terrible.
Under Level II it should be better.
