Sorry if I seemed to be dogging WordPerfect GS.  I do have the latest version,
2.1f, which is more GS/OS friendly than the previous versions; However, I was
seduced long ago by WPs with font support and such, though I must admit
WordPerfect is still my best WP (w/o fonts of course).

The thing I can remember off of the top of my head about WordPerfect, 'cause I
haven't used it in a while, is that the menus are kinda flakey - I think that
slightly custom made menu code was made.  THAT certainly isn't friendly to
GS/OS, ignoring it's nice menu code. :)  There's some other stuff, but it is a
good word processor.
