   EV>Rob and Mike, The first DOS PC I had my hands on at work had GWBASIC.   
     >It was made by ITT ( I think) and had DOS  v 2.11 on it.   
     >There was a bunch of books for that computer, and Me using a Commodore 64   
   jus   
     >had to look through those books to see what I could learn about DOS 2.11 .   
      
   I'm pretty sure my first copy was from ITT as well. Funny, I still had   
   the original books and floppy disks for that until about 2 years ago.   
   I'm a bit of a Pack Rat..   B)   
      
   Mine was a bit newer (DOS 3.3) and I only got that for the software   
   from a friend who worked in Telecom since I'd built a computer from   
   parts and needed to find an OS for it..   
      
   Let's see, since this was DOS (for a PC) it was probably in 1987.   
   Prior to that I had built 2 Apple II+ clones using Apple software.   
      
   EV>On my XP box if I need to do fancy stuff in a text file I use   
     >Open Office 4.1.3.   
     >I mostly use Wordpad instead of Notepad so I can write sections in a   
     >different size font or to underline some parts of what I am writing.   
      
   Yes, I can understand using Wordpad as I did it myself until I ran   
   across Jarte a lot of years back and still use today..   
      
   EV>Just thought Iwould jump in and comment.   
      
   Always interesting to hear where people got started..   B)
