Sorry if this has been asked before.  Has anyone out there used
UNIX WordPerfect as the message editor in elm?  If so, how do you
convince WP to automatically save the document in UNIX format?
I know that you can use the "UNIX Text In/Text Out" facility,
but I'd rather have WP do it automatically when it "Save"s the
document.

Is there a setup parameter that can be used?  How about a startup option?
A clever startup macro?  I'm not a WP user myself, and I haven't been
able to find a way to do it from my perusal of the manual.

Please e-mail responses and I'll summarize.  Thanks in advance.
