Well, it's here, in all its glory - arrived Friday afternoon, weighing ...

I spend some considerable time yesterday using the package.  In general,
I'm very impressed.  In fact, it seems possible that I can use it for my
next book and go directly to pages, without having to use a DTP package.
The layout is very simple - one column with a large outer margin into which
things like icons, definitions, and figure captions will go.  I can place
those in sidebars which float with the text.  Very neat.

I can see only one problem.  The hyphenation algorithm will hyphenate two
characters, as in ex-
ample.  My editor won't go for that; hyphenation should leave no less than
three characters on a line.  One of the greatest features of RSG 4.0 is 
the ability to control hyphenation in that manner.  The floating sidebars
actually make FullWrite the ideal software for this project, but the prospect
of twiddling the the hyphenation manually doesn't thrill me.  This product
already has everything but the kitchen sink in it.  I only wish they would
add hyphenation control.  Otherwise, perfecto...  Since the figures will
all be MacDraw type images, I don't even have to leave FullWrite to do the
art.  Love it!!!!

Oh, the 1024K RAM partition under MultiFinder isn't enough.  FullWrite
kept quitting on me with an out-of-memory error.  I increased the memory to
1300K and had no further problems.  Moral to the story - don't use this
product will MultiFinder unless you have at least 2 Meg RAM.  It does run
successfully on my vanilla Mac Plus (1 Meg only) as long as I don't install
MultiFinder, however.

Worth waiting for?  You bet.
