WordPerfect 5.1 introduces a VERY useful feature for which there is no
parallel in WFW:  the Equation Editor.  Many people may have no use for
this, but I am an undergrad at a science/engineering school, and thus use it
very frequently.  On the other hand, I know there is a dedicated equation
generator for the Mac (the name escapes me at the moment); is there one for
Windows?

With DESQview (or Windows, for that matter), I can get WP running in one
window, Kermit in another, Telix in another, and DOS in one more.  What's
your point? :)
