To anyone who knows anything about word processors,

I am currently using Magic Window II, written for a 64k Apple II.  It's a good
WP, but since my system is now an Apple IIgs with 1.25 meg, 2 5.25 floppies,
and 1 3.5 floppy, I think I should be able to do better.  What I'm specifically
looking for:

        1) A WP that will use all of my memory, so I can write more than 10
        pages.

        2) One that works on the 'what you see is what you get' principle--
        i.e., if I'm using 100 columns, either the computer shows 100 columns
        using graphics, or it scrolls left and right (like magic window).  NOT
        one that will print 80 columns on one line, then 20 on the next, then
        repeat.  And so on.

        3) A spelling checker.

If anything like the above has been written specifically for the gs, so much the
better.  I'd also like any information anyone has on Mousewrite, Sensible
Writer, and Word Perfect.  Thanks in advance,

                                Bill Dickson
