	What is "'space before'"?

 	This is a feature! :-)

	This is the reason for my post, NISUS is much better than Fullwrite.
A friend of mine wanted to make a resume for his girlfriend.  She wanted
nice thin line below her name.  Unfortunately, the smallest graphic one
can insert in (almost)full-write is one inch.  This was toooo big.  But with
Nisus, it was just right -- he just used NISUS' built in graphics to draw
the line in exactly the right place, no switching to mac-draw, no problems.

One other thing, NISUS has an excellent Spanish dictionary.  It also
has dictionaries in other languages (including Danish) but I can't vouch
for them as I don't have 'em.  They're sold as add-ons for thirty bucks or
so.
