	Though I don't use PW a lot, I find it has its uses.  Designing menus
is simple-minded enough of a process for PW to automate effectively.  After all
who wants to calculate those little offsets for sub-menus, and figure out how
many pixels wide menu bars should be?   I also used it once to create a 
32-colour palette.  I sure would have hated to type in the specs for 32 little
box gadgets when I can create one with PW and then clone it 31 times.  I hope
to have my PW 2.0 in a couple of weeks (mailed for it 2 weeks ago) and I will
review it if anyone's interested.
