    Have you looked at the TECHREF.DOC file ? Many (if not all)
    of the WordBasic commands and functions are listed there.

    By the way, does anyone who has the Technical Reference book
    care to comment ? Is there anything in the book that's not in
    the TECHREF.DOC and WfW manual ?

    Teemu.
