    I don't particular like the whole idea of MicroSloth products (gawd,
I need a 68040 Mac to run a word processor?!?!), but the array of
features available in Word is really impressive.  Some of the
"convenience" features would be nice to have in a GS program: search/
replace by text attributes, ribbon toolbar, styles, page preview, etc. 
Actually, modelling a GS WP after MacWrite Pro or the WP module of the
new (2.0?) ClarisWorks would be even nicer.
