We've considered MacWrite and MS Write, but as far as I know there's no way to
set them up to always save files as ASCII text for a computer-searchable
archive of published articles. (The alternative here seems to be a
file conversion program to translate any files accidentally saved in WRITE
or whatever format to ASCII. Any of those around?)

Two things I should have mentioned the last time:
1) We'd like to be able to have at least a couple of files open
   at a time (notes, outline, article, memo, letter to Mom...)
2) Our dual-floppy SEs are PhoneNETted together. The network software,
   printer drivers, InterMail and DISKTOP eat up a lot of system
   disspace.

Thanks for all the responses to my last posting. They'll really help
us make a decision!
