Question for Niles&Friends:

I just ordered tha competitive upgrade for WordPerfect 3.0 (mac).  I
understand that the PIM 
will not work for this app.  However, WP 3.0 does support the Word
Services Suite of
Apple Events.  This means that if a stand alone app (very much like the
plug in module)
could be redone to interact with a text editor via Apple Events, this new
plug
in module could be used in MANY wrod processors (Like MacWrite Pro, WP
3.0, the upcoming
versions of MS Word, Nisus...you get the point).  This would alleviate
the responsibility
of having to support individual word processors.  Anyone who implemented
the word services
suite of apple events could interact with this new PIM.  Is there
anything in the works
at Niles that may be similair to what I have just described?

(For a great examle of this, check out the new Apple Event version of the
spell checker
SpellsWell, which can be used with WP 3.0, or even Eudora 1.4, which both
use the 
Word Services suite of apple events).

Please e-mail me with whatever information you can divulge.
