The Legend word processor is supposed to support the RTF format; I don't
think Ami Pro does (maybe an Ami Pro user can correct me if I'm wrong).

Indeed, the RTF format is ASCII, but there it's RIDICULOUS to think of
writing real help documents (100-200K) in RTF by hand!  Right now, I think
WfW is the best bet.
