The Xerox 9700 is useful for doing more than just "documents using simple
monospace fonts".  You just need a document formatter that supports it.
Scribe (from Unilogic) is the only one that I know of.  If you can afford
a 9700 the price of scribe probably won't scare you too much.  It's available
for Tops20, Vax (Vms and probably Unix), Prime, and probably others.
Since Unilogic got internal documentation for the 2700 from xerox in order
to be able to drive it, I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for
the 9700.  None of this is from personal experience, I'm stuck with the 
2700's.  (The 8700 at Usc is hooked to a computer by a company with 3 letters
in its name that gives me the blues.  (Being used as a high speed line 
printer!))
