Yes, WordPerfect does have an 'education discount' on ST WordPerfect... It costs $99, and is identical to the normal commercial version in all ways except the color of the binder (and, in fact, I bought my educational package just as WP was hitting the shelves 2+ years ago, and have the standard binder!) You can order directly from WordPerfect (you'll need an order form, available from WP or from some computer stores) and you need to be able to show a valid school ID. WP's address is: 288 West Center Street Orem, Utah 84057 The phone number for the atari support divison is 1-800-321-3271. The order form for the educational version is fairly generic (it lists all platforms; you check off the one you want) and should be available at just about any computer store. I got my order form from an Amiga dealer. When I was looking for another order form several months later, I ran into trouble. I went into one IBM-based computer chain (Entre, in the DC area) and was told that WP didn't have a discount program (HAH!). The next store I tried told me that they could sell me the educational version, but they refused to give me an order form! (This was an ST store, and I needed the IBM version of the program). Finally, another ST store gave me an order form. Good luck Jeff
