We like it too, compared to WP for Dos and Windows, and even the 
Mac WP (Have you rebooted your Mac today?).  However, It is lacking tables
and equations, two things that chemistry and Mol Bio secretaries
tend to need to type a lot.

however, your statement "I'm going to buy the next version when it comes out"
is where the rub is...

I'll repeat myself, in case you missed it.

	THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE NeXT VERSION OF WORDPERFECT UNLESS YOU ASK 
	FOR IT. PERIOD.  THE END.

Call Brent McKinley, WP Unix Product Managerat 801 228 7272 and 
tell him that you like the product, and your university will buy a copy for  
every NeXT they own (or at least 1 for every 8 ;-) if Version 6.0 comes
out in a quality NeXT release.

Debating this on the network is not going to help, because WP is
does not read news or otherwise monitor this group.
