Adding an "easy interface" would kill the program from day one! Plus, you lose a nice hunk of speed that you'd gain from using the 816 the way it should be used!! Doesn't anybody use Text based programs anymore?? I mean, graphics are nice, but come on, it slows down most of my work (and I've got a TWGS, and Hard Drive). Mark Munz
