   I *may* be confusing Wordstar with another editor.  I'd swear WordPerfect had   
   many shared editing commands with another popular wordprocessor.   Wordperfect   
   was a standard in one place of work and I adapted to using it fairly easily   
   for producing specifications documents.   
      
   So.. then oxp (then originally known as Crosspoint) incorporated Wordstar   
   editor commands.  Fair enough.

   I probably worked with GoldEd for a while back in the day.  I don't think I   
   had any complaints about it.  But when I discovered FleetStreet, that was "the   
   one" to beat.

   Nope.  There is no known way to have multiple windows in oxp. It's just one   
   screen at a time.  But the context sensitive help (via F1 at any screen level)   
   is pretty good.   
      
   When in a list view of messages, INS will put that message on Hold, (same as H   
   key)   
      
   When in list view of messages, you can't create a new message.  You have to   
   back out to the echo list view, highlight the echo you want to create a new   
   message in, and press W to W)rite the new message.   
      
   Weird, I know.  But once you go through that a few times it becomes 2nd nature.   
      
   But.. I think I will still lean towards using TB most of the time.
