Right on Brother...

I'm an ooold XyWrite user, who has been struggling with
WordPerfect for years, ever since my office installed it. I went
to the Windows version of WP but it was (and is) so unstable
that we never let anyone else in the office use it. The rest of
the office is using ver. 5.1 for DOS.

I've switched to WARP and the 6.1 Windows version is sloooow. So
I ordered Xy4, installed it, and am getting reacquainted. What a
difference. Its fast, and the old mnemonic commands evidently
never left my memory.

Fortunately, I haven't yet experienced any of the problems I've
been reading about here.
