    Easier said than done!  Perhaps Joe was really thinking "The GS is
capable of this, but the software doesn't exist" and not "The GS can't
do this, time to get another computer".  Some of us don't have the time
or the inclination to learn programming, much less write a DTP package!
I've been meaning to learn C and desktop programming for a couple of
years now.  I still can't make it through a dozen lines of C without
getting completely lost!  So for now I stick with the "minor" languages
like HyperTalk and MicroEMACS scripting.
