But my mind is not closed on this. My understanding of Carl's intent (as if I can speak for him!) is that XyScript differs vastly from XyWrite in not being a dedicated word processor. That isn't to say XyScript can't do word processing--- of course it can--- but I think that is not the fundamental or sole purpose. I always viewed XyWrite as a word processor with a powerful scripting language that allowed it to do more. I see XyScript as a general purpose environment. I won't even say editor, because as it develops I see it in a similar way to Emacs, being an environment that can do many many things, including text editing, word processing, and making the coffee (which Emacs and no doubt XyScript can do, even if indirectly). > Cxpl (for Carl xpl)? Or to slightly revise Carl's mantra, "C? It's all XPL!" Bob Newell Honolulu
