Yes, it is shareware. There are also TSR word predictors that give you the
same capability with any program, so you can continue to use your favorite
word processor. I have a demo of one of them (Handiword from Microsystems);
it will run for an hour at a time. Reply if you're interested (the demo can
be passed along). There are any number of abbreviation expanders and keyboard
macro programs.

Adrienne, there was once a commercial program called JOT that might
be helpful to you. JOT loaded into memory and examined your
keystrokes and compared them to a list of shorthand words or
phrases that you'd create. For instance, you could tell JOT that
if it encountered the letters ASAP, it should type the phrase, "as
soon as possible". You have to remember your definitions, and you
have to press the spacebar after your shorthand word (ASAP ). If
you can find this program and try it out, I think you will find it
helpful.
Good luck!
