Word Perfect: in memorium

[Charles Crawford]

         I will give Chuck good credit for Nano since I use it as well and 
it works fairly ell.  Perhaps it is the speech access in WordPerfect for 
DOS which is not a function of WP but is great for those of us who use 
it?  don't know but as long as all of us have something with which we are 
comfortable, let the games begin...
