(Rhetorical question) Did you ever experience WfW getting somewhat sluggish when typing on a line that has multiple fonts/sizes/attributes? Me, too. The fix, I found out, was to go into Printer Setup, re-setup your favorite printer, and return to WfW. Everything will be hunkey-dorey, and WfW will no longer lose characters to hunt-and peckers. Ah, the catch: my experience has been that with ATM and a Epson 9-pinner, WfW doesn't save whatever the Setup deal sets in it. I remember that back when I used Bitstream fonts, I'd only have to do this once after changing fonts. With ATM, WfW reverts to its pokey alter-ego upon re-boot. At least for me. If you don't notice this, maybe my WIN.INI is simply too battle-scarred to be dependable (there are still sections in it from when I was using Windows/286 on an XT--according to some comments I stuck in it!) Anywho, it just dawned on me that there are those who say WfW is fine in speed and others who claim they can outtype it. I wonder if those stuck in the slow lane are experiencing the same thing I am. I doubt this is in the manual, but I didn't check. Aaron Wallace
