	A friend of mine is a russian scholar and completely computer-
ignorant.  (I myself am ibm pc -ignorant).  She is looking for a way to
write russian exams and scholarly papers on a computer instead of her
trusty manual typewriter.  Generally these things have a mixture of 
roman and cyrillic (sp?) alphabets. Since she's a novice something
simple is better than something complicated, but anything will do.
The college will probably buy her an ibm pc, but if some other type of
computer is much better for this (macintosh?), they could probably be
persuaded.  The college also generally supports Word Perfect, so if that
could be part of the solution, so much the better.

	Thanks for whatever you can tell me.
