Many NETters know of my dislike for Word Perfect. However, a few simple
suggestions for product upgrade:

1. allow an option to use the standard file selector box call on the RETRIEVE
   file option (then, anyone who has the { UIS-II installed can make use
   of this incredibly useful utility)

2. have a 'notemaker' mode where a lot of function kyes can be locked out
   (to prevent new users or occassional WP users from pressing the wrong
   Fkey and damaging his doc)

3. like Word Writer, put Fkey ICONs on the screen under the working window.
   New users can shrink the window and view all Fkey defs on the screen
   without having to use one of those ridiculous key overlays.

4. when a new printer def is added, take out the crazy requirement :{to
   reselect all current drivers. PLEASE, do this one at least!
