WP was the best word processor. I loved the feature that showed "reveal codes". I still have a copy on my Win 2K virtual machine, but I don't have a printer driver for it.
The reveal-codes feature was among my favorites. If you botched some bit of formatting, you didn't need to re-do it; all that was necessary was to move the opening or closing formatting code.
WP came with the shell menuing system that allowed job backgrounding and foregrounding within DOS. You could fire up WP and use it for a while, then keep it in memory while using the shell menu to, say, start a DOS shell or whatever. The WP process just hung around waiting to be brought to the foreground.
