Thank you, Robert. You're correct. I thought I had said my piece, and
really didn't want to continue on with this discussion. Actually I agree
with much of what Myron said in his eloquent response. I was, of course,
merely comparing v. 3 w/ v. 4, rather than w/ other word processors. I
hope, too, that by this statement I have also gotten out from under any
accusations that I'm intolerant of diversity.
