Mmmm, I don't recall ever seeing Scripsit ported to OS9... worth some 
snooping around to find out if it was ever a plan for such a product from 
Tandy/Radio Shack.

I have used the T/S Edit+Word package both under standard RSDOS and OS9 
systems. Back in the days when there was almost nothing in terms of a good 
text editor, I feel the T/S package was a very decent offering despite it's 
rather odd way of presenting/handling the text window; the hi-res screen was 
also ok. Of course all this changed as soon as more robust word processing 
packages appeared under RSDOS like Telewriter 64 and VIP Writer... then 
there was no contest from T/S Edit+Word. On the OS9 side, almost anything on 
the market was far better than the built in EDIT app :-)
