Agreed, perhaps the menu could made a bit thinner/smaller > 4) Choice of palette, choice of font... natch... > > Points against: [Deleted] Most of these are possibly due to it being a demo and unfinished, but I'm sure Andrew would appreciate the comments. > 5) I can't seem to get it to edit more than one screen-ful of text.

Possibly. :) I bloody hope so! I have always been moaning about the lack of a decent text editor-cum-word processor I still use WordMaster (A speccy conversion) and put up with the shite font since it's the only thing close I have got. I have read reviews of Outwrite and The Secretary, but they never seem to be favourable for what I want, and as for Spell Master.... Driver's Notepad isn't too bad, but it lacks so many features that it's not really worth using. Dan.
