   Howdy! Joe,   
      
   I saw the message (below) in the Commodore Echo and my mind(?) began   
   wandering if You had the manual Lorry wants a copy of.   
      
   I thought about You because when You came to my home to return my   
   extra C=64 and C=1541, You gave me a Floppy Disk Box with some   
   5-1/4" Disks in it.   
      
   Some of those Disks had WP files on them but I don't have a copy of   
   the WP PRG You used to write them.   
      
   (I even try looking at a few of Your files using the Track and Sector   
    PRG but that didn't show me any of what You wrote about.)   
      
   I can't remember if You used the PFS Write WP PRG or the Write Now WP   
   being asked about when You wrote Your TEXT Files on the Commodore 64   
   You had long ago.   
      
   I thought to write You to see if You have the instruction manual the   
   person is looking for and could be of help.

   Thanks but unfortunately this is a general manual for the VIC-20 not the   
   Write Now word processor manual, perhaps I should have been more   
   specific.  However, I agree the bombjack site has some great resources on   
   it; I've used it a number of times.   
      
   Best wishes
