I have had several eMail conversations with Neil Harris on this, but I
would like to get some support from other users of Atariwriter Plus.

The problem that I have been experiencing, which I think is a fatal
bug, is that on multipage documents AW+ does not correctly execute the
page break.  This is either a soft page break or control-E hard page break.  
Instead of breaking the text and placing it on the next page, it recycles 
it and inserts it at the top of the page (inserting it with the correct
text for that area).  I think that it might be related to
L and R margins, but I have had it happen with the default margins, as 
well as when I have modified the margins.  

Neil and Atari Corp. were told of this problem by myself about six months 
ago but I have not heard what they have found out.  I suspect that Atari
is too busy designing new products (particularly 16 bit ST line) to fool
with this problem.  It is resolvable, by inserting multiple Control-E and
C/R commands you can force a normal page break.  But this is a pain and
should not be needed -- I do not remember ever having the problem with
the original AW cartridge program.
