WordPerfect (//e & //c) is WYSIWYG (more-or-less [sub/super scripts and font
changes don't display as such on Apple //e & //c or IBM versions]. It runs 
under ProDOS. Screen rewrites are slow. It's a port of the IBM version, and
therefore presents a blank screen until you press the correct combination of
keys (there is some page, line, etc. information on the lower right, as there
is on an IBM). Thusfar, I have been able to go from the Apple //e & //c 
version to the Mac version only by outputing a Text file, which loses all
centering, font, etc. information (it's possible to go between the IBM and
Mac versions of WordPerfect  while preserving boldface, underline, center,
super & sub scripts. One goes from 5.0 on IBM to 4.2 on Mac)..
