people talk about nota bene as though it were an updated xywrite.

Some corrigenda
-- being able to write without formatting first

Draft mode.
-- being able to change margins etc fast and easy

Go to the command line and issue any XY command.
-- one step combinations to remove a word, or to the end of a line, or to the end of a sentence, or a paragraph

Same, all the XY native commands work.
-- 9 windows

I forget how many NB has, but who the heck works with nine documents open?
-- command line controls, not mouse
All there. That's all I use. I don't touch the mouse in NB unless for
some reason I want one of the pull down menus, and even then there
are short-cut keys.
did I miss something in nota bene?
Well, you have to set it up to operate like XY, but it's not that
difficult. Robert even made a video to show the way. And all the U2
routines I normally use -- with the exception of SAVESESS -- work in NB.

I can't believe I'm the only XyWriter working in NB as well.
