I have seen Word Perfect. One of the groups here bought it. We tried it out
and returned it. We have used Macs since the first days and expect programs
to follow the basic user interface guide lines.

You obviously do not know what a Macintosh program should look like!
If this is what you want in the  Windows/Presentation Manager environment
I suggest that you return to the IBM world and don't screw things up for
the rest of us.
