Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you CAN save 1st Word Plus files
as ascii files by first switching off WP mode under the EDIT menu, then
saving the file.  In other words, open a previously created file, switch
off WP, then use SAVE AS... under the FILE menu, name it what you want,
and presto... ascii file! :-)

By switching off WP before creating a document, it will be saved directly
as ascii without any format or layout imposed by 1st Word Plus.

Hope this helps,
Bruce...
