I have it working great here now.... took some effort though. WP is the ONLY
program I know of with a full graphical preview mode for text terminals.
I have not yet gotton the "formula view" to work right- there are problems.
I have reported them to WP, and they are working on it. It is due to the
emulation mode switchover it does on the terminal, it causes the "special"
keys like arrow and function keys to not work.

One of my points exactly. WordPerfect will have MORE sales when Linux
ever has COFF support...
