I think the difficulty depends on the level you mean.

The elements are dead easy. (I'm talking about III+.) My comparison
is with WordStar, PC-Write, WordPerfect, Word . . . Ordinary
correspondence? Right out of the box. . . . Simple editing, files, &
printing come easy. . . .

Lee Hickling may be thinking one level above mine. Behr, Fisher &
Co. fly yet higher. Where Paul Cowan's interest lies remains to be
seen.
