Okay, now please be patient with me.  As long as I have been a
member of the IGC network I really should know better how to use
this system, but I have been more of a wall flower than an active
participant.  I have a number of questions about using my word
processor, AmiPro v.2.0, as a text editor:

First and formost on my mind is a question about having upgraded
to both DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1. You see, both windows and AmiPro
were working fine, but I was seduced to purchase the upgrades by
reading the reviews in all of the hip  PC rags.  Since upgrading,
I have not been able to swap between documents as I could before I
upgraded.  I don't understand.  Also affected since the upgrade is
something to do with my printer.  You see before I upgraded, I
could insert an envelope horizontally into the printer and it
would print horizontally.  Now, regardless of what I do the
printer wants to print envelopes and only envelopes
sideways/vertically.  Now, what complicates this is the "paper
out" switch.  The printer wants to write on an envelope that is on
the opposite side of the roller from the "paper out" switch.  It
has been a real pain trying to deal with this problem, but it has
been easier to ignor the problem since I rarely use the printer to
print envelopes.

Now these are the questions dealing with using the word processor
as a text editor:

when I use AmiPro and I go to save a document, I have a number of
choices as to how I want to save the document.  The Defalt is
*.SAM, the AmiPro suffix.  Among several other choices, there is
ASCII, but when I decide to save a document in ASCII, I am given a
number of options like whether to save the document with line
feeds at the end of each line or at the end of the paragraph.  I
am also given the option of saving the document in either 7 bit
ASCII, 8 bit PC-ASCII, or 8 bit ANSI-ASCII.  So this is the
question, which is the easiest to save and upload?  When I down
load a text file, it comes in 66 character lines, but I would
rather read/print this out with longer line feeds, so I usually
spend increadible amounts of time reformating the document so it
looks more like a whole document and not like a computer download.
Do you have any similar problems and have you found any
solutions.

I hope you understand that these are minor problems that I have
had with AmiPro, and that over all, I really have nothing to
complain about.  In fact, I am really persuaded to pick up an up
grade of AmiPro in the SmartSuite upgrade kit.  Whether or not you
use AmiPro, or whether you have had similar problems with a
different word processor, I would like some pointers.  Thanks,
Peter.  P.S. If I find a solution, short of upgrading, I will come
back and keep you posted.
