In a recent discussion of our WP user group with the traveling WPCorp
rep, we learned that WP5 saves ascii files, not only with lf/cr pairs,
but also with any tab characters that have been entered.  Would agree
that, as nice as WP5 is, other editors may be better for programming.
I seem to remember that, if you like WordPerfect commands and, they
do sell a compatible editor, though it's not well advertised.
