I'm still getting peppered by Email on this one. Apparently, most
Mac Word Processing programs, including my program of choice--
WriteNow (I didn't notice the option before my posting) do word
counts. They just don't display it automatically as the CP/M
programs I still fondly remember did. So there's no need to
send me more Email, try to sell me software (as some people
have done). I've already got three word processing programs
and am considering getting a fourth, but not FullWrite, as
I got the demo and wasn't very impressed. I'm looking at
Nisus for the vi-type search/replace capabilities and
other features.
