  Well, since many of us probably won't be using that windoz
product, it matters little whether you use VBA or XPL, I guess.
REXX would sure be nice.
BTW, Ken, have you noticed that IBM is going to be marketing
Starwriter as its OS/2 wp? I think it's truly a loss to all of us
that the IBM/XyQuest consortium fell apart. Not to knock TTG, but
having XY in the IBM camp looked liked a winning combination.
Sigh!
