I am using FullWrite Profesional for all word processing tasks (letters and
documents) under A/UX 2.0 and MacOS (haven't completely switched to A/UX yet)
and basically think its a fine program, with 1 and a smidgen exceptions.  The
smidgen is the drawing program which is pretty crude, but my far bigger
difficulity is with mail merge (or variables in FWP terminology).  Basically
you have to have a seperate file defining the content of the variables and
then at print time you specify "merge with database" and specify that file
via a dialog window.  This would be fine for mass mailings but is a huge pain
for my more common case of just one letter with an envelope, since you need
(to generate) a seperate file for each address.  I would really love a method
of keeping an on-line address book data base (name, phone, company, home, as
well as address) from which I could select one or more sets of names and
addresses as the data base "file" to merge with on printing.  FWP does allow
a real data base to be used instead of a file but that seems like overkill for
an address book and I don't know if it would help this case anyway.  Does anyone
know of such a tool?   How do you all handle this issue?  Is there a better
way?
