O.K., I use Prowrite 2.5 (I have it since 2.0), it cost me $79 (of
course, the 2.0) in a software house, I started to play with the menu,
that, if not have all, it has most of the commands and with the
keyboard equivalent aside. I came to touch the book one week later.
My mother language is Spanish, and understood most the commands at
first sight.  I think that have a 10000 words dictionary. Is a WYSIWYG
word processor and with the program that came with 2.5 "System Mover"
you can add any fonts your system disk permits.  What I like more is
that can import graphics, adn can print them in NLQ mode also. And has
many more options that I haven't master or know yet, but I have read
many reviews of WP and I still think, that for that price, it still
the best. (I forgot, you can have colored fonts and have a great
update policy.)

P.S. I have nothing with New Horizons Software, I'm only a satisfied
costumer.
