		So, ATM is part of the word processor????? the original

OK, I am now done with this subject.  I understand a significant amount
about both the available WP's, ATM and its share-alikes, and coding
for Windows.  NONE of which can show me TRUE WYSIWYG.  Its not a big
deal.  Really, My brain can extrapolate from where Windows/WP's leave
off.  In addition, those of you who have given thoughtful rebuttals,
I appreciate your stances and am glad you rebutted.  I thank the
mail response from someone who told me JUST how to do this and it
wasn't software that did it (for the most part).  I plan to buy the
needed toys now.  But, common WP's are definitely NOT WYSISYG.  I still
think they're WYSIWYSOG.  I will hereby agree that I want the world,
but who the heck doesn't?  We pay a LOT for these WP's and they do well,
but they could do better, believe me!

I promise I'm done now!
