Ah, yes. Well to paraphrase Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey."

Exactly. I think it should be kept in mind is that XyWrite is perfectly
designed to do one thing and to do it well. When I edit or write I do it
in XyWrite. When I draft memos or want to play around with fonts, I use
Word.

In other words, I use XyWrite because it does what I want it to do: I
don't use it merely to make some sort of political statement about
Microsoft.
