	According to the April "WPCorp Report" there is a new version of WP for
the Amiga which now uses standard Amiga file requesters.  You can now 
scroll through directories and change directories just like you do on
your other favorite Amiga software.  This new releasee also has a few new
bells and whistles too which are pretty minor changes in my mind.  Anyway,
if you are a registered owner of WP you probably know about this update
already, it costs $10.00 if you write WP for it.  
	Just to get in my $.02 I feel that WPCorp did a pretty good job moving
WP over to the Amiga and supporting the version they have.  There have been
many updates to WP 4.1 and the current version I have is a very solid program
and I like it better than 4.2 on the PC.  I have tried several other Amiga
word processors and found that I liked WP the best and they definately have
some of the best support in the market right now.

				   these opinions are all mine.
