I am curious about the following scenario:
    
   1)  Create a file with Word Perfect on an IBM PC,
   2)  Transfer (via modem) to my Amiga,
   3)  Make changes with the Amiga Version of WP.
   4)  Modem back to PC and make further changes.
 
Are steps 3 & 4 possible?  That is, is the WP file format standard across
different platforms?
 
(For those who must know, user A will create a document on the PC for
 user B to critique, modify, etc.)
 
Thanks for the response (assuming I get one/some!).
