Hmm ... Get a good macro for TeX/LaTex and its easier than a "wordprocessor"
for creating simple text and letters. LaTeX has letter format built in, so I
don't see the argument. I create nicely formatted letters typing them in using
either vi or emacs not worring about margins etc ... The TeX'n does all that for me.

I think what you arguing is that you are too lazy to run xdvi or ghostview to
see the end product ????

You can get close to WYSWYG by having 2 windows open :)

PS: I run Windows when I get in the mood to have my machine unable to boot without
    turning it off for 5-10 minutes so the hd will be recognized....
