WriteNow 2.0 supports the cursor keys.  The keys by themselves move the
insertion point one character horizontally, or one line vertically.
When used with the command key, they move the insertion point to the
beginning or end of the line, or to the top or bottom of the current page.

This addition to WriteNow makes it _much_ easier to use!
