My wife uses Word Perfect 5.1 (yeuk) at work and I'm going to buy it for her to
use at home.  Having been "brought up" on WordStar I find Word Perfect with its
complex and wierd(F2 for Help?!  Yes I know you can change it...) key structure
a real pain.  My question is should I hang on to the money because version 5 has been with us for about a hundred years hasn't it?  Are they going to be bringing out a DOS upgrade as well as their Windows product (like WordStar have)?

Any help gratefully received.


David



P.S.  This is not intended to start a debate about which WP is the best as I           know it's a matter of taste and WP5 ain't to my taste!!
