I have been searching for a good word processor for my 520ST ever
since I got it.  I have spent good money on a lot of poor word
processors that made big promises on the package and couldn't
back that up once the disk was slipped in the drive. 1st_Word
is missing a lot (only one font).  Regency promised that would be
different, but didn't explain until I ripped the package open that
I must have a certain type of printer to get different fonts and
the stupid program works like a unix editor.

Listen folks, my request is simple.  I want a word processor for
my ST that works like MacWrite.  I want to see, on the screen, what
my text file looks like.  And I want to be able to change sizes and
fonts independantly of other hardware.  If it's already out there,
I haven't found it and would be afraid to put my dollars on the line
without a review.  If it's not out there, why not?  You software
guys are hurting this machine by selling it  short with crappy
programs.  I NEED this capability.  Must I trade my ST for a Mac?
