Still no non-WinDoze solution.  But, via a roundabout route, I
have been emailed by Rann Glaser of Team OS/2 with details of
what sounds like the WP software I was trying to remember:

	Name:	"Dagesh" (in Israel) / "Accent" (elsewhere)
	From:	Kivun Computers : info@accent.co.il
	Notes:  "Excellent" multi-lingual Word Processor (for
		WinDross, alas).  Does not require hebrew OS/2
		or hebrew WinBlows.  No OS/2 version yet, beyond
		maybe-beta; apply friendly pressure to Kivun.

Rann also remarks there still isn't ANY WP for OS/2 in hebrew.
Hebrew bonus pack thought planned for next few months; should
include hebrew WP.

Personal note: even if Dagesh/Accent is for WinWoes, at least one
can run it in the OS/2 WinOS2 box.

(Hope that all made sense.)
