If anyone is interested I have a simple text formatter written in BASIC09
that is capable of doing simple text formatting.  It can't do fancy stuff
(like footnotes, superscripts, etc.) but is capable of formatting documents
with titles, paragraphs, pagination, varying line and indent sizes.  If
anyone is interested send me mail;  if several people are interested I'll
just post it to the net.

One note that I've always meant to post, but never remembered involves the
TSEdit program.  There are two undocumented commands (at least I never found
any mention of them) to change from `program' to `text' mode while in the
program.  Shift t sets EM=1 (text mode) and shift FG  (FG must be pressed
simultaneously) sets EM=0 (program mode).  You can also use one of the
function keys missing from the matrix if you have a fancy keyboard.

Where is OS9 Level II????????
