I have seen quite a few ads in magazines (like A+) about a New version of 
Word Perfect for the //gs that supports the mouse interface.

Considering that current versions of Word Perfect are based upon the same
Ctrl codes used in the IBM-PC, I would think the ease of a mouse interface 
alternative would be worth waiting for. Everything else about WP, from
its Thesaurus to its Prodos compatibility sounds like the best word processor
on the market.

But it's been all hype and no substance. Its release was postponed once, but
it should be out.

If anyone has or know someone who has this version of WP, a review would be
much 
appreciated. So far, I have been a little discouraged with mouse-based word
processors 
on the GS.
