Maybe this belongs to the mud group but I feel so right to post it here. :)

First, my efforts to avoid flames:
1)  Hey, the Grand PC family!  I'm one of your members!
2)  WordPerfect IS one of the most powerful word processors.

Recently I have to use WP5.1.  So I had to buy a 4"-thick book, spend days to s
tudy it, and keep it at hand all the time.  The more I study it, the more I'm a
mazed by the richness of features, and the more I HATE THE GODDAMNED #@^*(*%!!

For crying out loud, you poor DOS hostages!  Your guys've been better in restra
ining yourself than our Chinese!!  Could any human being possibly think of anyt
hing less intuitive, more stoopid than WordPerfect?  I almost killed myself try
ing to understand how free-spirited Americans could have lived with such an arb
itrary, un-logical ... thing.  And learnt to appraise it.  Watch out my America
n brothers.  Watch out for hard-core communists from WordPerfect!

---------------------------- END OF MUD ---------------------------------------
Seriously, I'd really appreciate tips/hints/comments about learning/using WP.
And your opinions about MS Word For Windows.  I only have a little experience w
ith it.  It looks good.  But I don't have access to the full-blown version and
I'd like to hear from you before I decide to spend half of my monthly salary.

I know, I've probably wasted the bandwith.  So direct all your flame/kind sugge
stions/helps/brain detergents to U0DCB@WVNVM(.BITNET).
