Having used Chiwriter (pronounced Kie-writer) extensiveky for a couple  of
years, I can HIGHLY recommend it.  Almost entirely WYSWYG.  A lot more Math
functions than were indicated above (sq. root, and integration just scratch
the surface).  There are also chemistry, and physics notation fonts.
Along with the Greek. Hell, here they are:

Standard	Small	Italic	
Bold		Foreign (with a lot of Spanish & other European letters)
Symbol		Greek		Linedraw
Math I,II		Underline
Orator		Script	Gothic

Also, it comes with a font-designer program.  You can have a split-screen
and modify an old font, then save it to a new file.  Different fonts are
also avilable from the manufacturer, on a shareware basis (these were
designed by customers).

Chiwriter also has a nice key-sequence feature.  If you are typing the same
thing over and over, just assign it an <Alt-x> key sequence.  Up to about
4-6 whole lines of text can be saved in this fashion.

In case this isn't obvious, I like the program.  I also don't know
current price, but the company is Horsstmann Software Design Corporation,
140 E. San Carlos/suite 200  PO Box 5039   San Jose, CA

PS: They recently announced a Word-Perfect Converter.
