Do u know how to remove CR's from a MacWrite paragraph so right justify will
work? Apple, dumbly, seems to assume any document manipulated in MacWrite was
typed in MacWrite, and not pasted from somewhere else! It is very painful to
delete CR's singly from paragraphs, as you mite expect.

That's the whole point--I have a document I didn't type. Presumably the
whole idea of Mac, CUT and PASTE is that I can lay in some writing from
god knows where AND get right justify, without removing all SINGLE CR's.
Let's at least, if not dumb, say APPLE's correctable oversight.

You can remove CR's from incoming text by turning off "Retain line breaks"
in the file transfer settings of Macterminal.  Note that you can also
add CR's to outgoing text by using "word wrap outgoing text". This is
really nice for sending text files to mainframes.
