Since it is now financially feasable for all of us dirt-poor college stu-
dents to afford this (wonderful?) program, before we (I) fork out my $99, 
perhaps someone out there in NetLand who already has this program (I know
you're there) could clue us in as to the strengths and weaknesses of the
software.
Several questions I would like answered include:
	a) does it support Amiga fonts, and if so, does it print them in
           a pleasing way (not like Notepad, more like PageSetter).  This
           will probably be the most important factor in my decision to buy
           since I have need to use several of the alt-key characters for
           my Old English Literature course.
	b) does it support editting multiple documents?  I assume it does,
	   but I've not heard definitely one way or another, and none of my
	   magazines has a review of WordPerfect.
	c) printing in the background would be nice.  Does WordPerfect do this?
	d) can it be run in Interlace as well as MedRes? (not too important)
Being what it is, I am sure it does most everything I want, but I have detec-
ted some slight hints of displeasure from commenters on the Net, seemingly 
about minor things, and I think a lot of us would appreciate a definitive re-
view of its major points and pitfalls.
