I've just tried out a copy of "MacWrite Plus" a.k.a MacWrite 4.6. Things I noticed: There is an icon bar under the menu bar which lets you do many of the things that you normally do through the menus. The icon bar is editable in some fashion, though I couldn't figure out just what I was doing or what some of the icons meant. You can set and go to three "marks" in the document (A, B, and C). It bombs like crazy on a MacXL w/MacWorks 3.0. Clicking in the clock area of the icon bar, for instance, required a cold boot. The copy I have is dated March 16, so things have probably improved since then. It is *not* numbered with Apple's current D/A/B (Development / Alpha / Beta) scheme, so its not clear what the status of this program is. I'll try it on a Plus when I get home, and see if it's more stable there.

Into the bit bucket it goes.
