not my feelings. tempus is a great, FAST, text editor. i wish GEM was 
even close to this speed. some of the keyboard equivalents to the menu bar
are a bit bizarre (ie: ctrl-l is find word option), but nonetheless, it is
well worth the price.

another pretty good editor which rivals TEMPUS in features is C-BREEZE by
michitron. the best feature about it is that it supports the 6 by 6 system
font. like 120 columns by 60 rows (or something close to that)!!!!
it also has an EXCELLENT (to quote bill and ted) macro lanquage built in.
with it you can reprogram the keyboard, menus, etc so that C-BREEZE can look
like any other text editor. even emacs. i think it even comes with an emacs
configuration file. the only thing it doesn't support is the command mode, 
insert mode metaphor that VI uses. thats a real bummer since i love the power
of vi. but oh well, at least i can make it work like the turbo pascal editor,
thats pretty well powerful enough.

about the wp, i haven't heard anything yet.

hope that helps.		:-)
