	(I didn't re-post the complete article from Tom; it is #881)

	1) MSW does not, Think 'C' does.

	2) MSW does...allows you to choose Fwd/Bck/Selected/All.

	3) I use the note pad or the Scrapbook...more powerful.

	4) I have seen Mac programs that do this...never used it (not even
	in 'vi'.

	5) Yes, Quick-Keys will do this, so will the NotePad (I use it a lot
	when I use 'vi' to store a whole series of commands.)  Also with
	MSW you can set an EXTENSIVE list of commands to any single (albeit
	modified) keystroke.  ie:CTRL-OPT-CMD-SHIFT-CAPS-W.

		5a) Ummm, that is what CMD-Z is for (UNDO).

	6) I don't know about Marks, I usually just insert mnemonics....

	As far as extensibility, I suppose if MSW were free, you could hack
the source code yourself.  Otherwise you are stuck with the hundreds of
commands available.

Sorry, I've used 'vi, 'emacs' and a host of Mac WP's.  I like my mouse and
windows.  (Now, X isn't so bad....;)
