I have tried to use MS WORD 5.0 for Window this afternoon to realize
that it's working so slow on PS-2 55SX (836SX) with 30 Mbytes.
What is the problem?  Is the problem related to the WINDOW 386?
Or to the one inherent in WORD for Window.   Basically, I like their
new interface - trying to be MacLike, but I cannot bear with their
slow response.  It took around 2 sec to shift a one pageful of text
to the right! (well let's say between 1 to 2 secs).
Any comment, wait for the new release?
