WriteNow desperately needs "next page" and "previous =page" keys. As an interesting "solution" to this, try the Previewer. Just as an exercise, open the SysRefMan/04_Drawing.wn file with WriteNow, from the NextLibrary/Documentation directory. Once it's open, bring up the "print" dialog and hit "Preview". It's 64 pages long so it takes a little while to write out all the pages. The Previewer lets you see exactly one page at a time, and has forward- and backward-page keys. The type is a little smaller than in WriteNow, but you can zoom if you want to. It's actually quite speedy and a nice way to zip through the documentation. If you really like it, all you have to do is to go through all of the WriteNow documentation and print them to a file somewhere so you can browse them with the Previewer :-) Glenn Reid Adobe Systems
