	Granted, WP handling of extended character sets is clumsy but at
least the capability is there.  It is also the only word processor for the ST
that I know of that can handle proportional fonts on a HP LJ compatible, and
as far as GDOS, I have yet to see GDOS fonts that look anywhere as nice as
BitStream fonts downloaded into a HP LJ II compatible, and it's much faster
than sending bit-mapped graphics to the printer.
