If you just want to bang in a lot of text really fast, use a stripped down
high speed word processor such as Turbo Pascal's Editor, or MPW Shell.
These simple editors are blazingly fast.  They don't do much, but they are
fast.  And they do enough to let you bang in lots of text and do minor
editing.
   *Then* when you've typed it all in, move it to FullWrite and make
it pretty.
  Yes, it would be nice if FullWrite were faster at mundane things.  But look
at it this way: it's easier to speed up a slow program such as FullWrite
than it is to clean up a clumsy user interface such as MS Word.  So we're
likely to see a faster FullWrite before we see a easy-to-use MS Word.
