Some book publisher (I think McGraw-Hill) sells a "basic
subset of WordPerfect" as the College Edition of WordPerfect.
It's the only word processor my wife will use.  What's more,
it will fit in the 256K my Tandy 1000EX is limited to (by our
finances); however, we had to make our own function key labels
to fit the "non-standard" layout of the early 1000's.

[I, on the other hand go back and forth among PC-Write, Free
VI, and the text part of Personal Deskmate, depending on
requirements of the task.  I have WordPerfect 5.0 on my
machine at work, but very seldom use it. -- "then again," I
sometimes return to TSEdit or Color Disk Scripsit on my CoCo 1,
but that's another story.]
