I certainly hope WP or some other word processing application for the NeXT will support STYLES and DESCRIPTIONS like those found in Ami Pro for Windows. For those of you that have not used Ami, when saving a file a use may enter a short description. When opening files, the user may also select to quickly view these descriptions as filenames are selected, displaying the files description. Very usefull when you have memo1, memo2; boss1, boss2, ..., bossn, etc. Does anyone know if this may or may not be supported. What about Appsoft's Writenow? -- Neil Greene Director, Computer Information Systems ARCI, Inc. President, Kentucky NeXT User Group, Inc. Email: deepthought!neil@ms.uky.edu [NeXTmail]
