Holger,              Reading the above made me wonder how OS/2 handles Font changes in       their Word Processing files?              In looking at the OS/2 Version 2.1 book, I see there is a Notepad icon       inside the Productivity Folder.              Is it the same as the Notepad Microsoft Windows uses in that it doesn't       allow changing of the Font size within a file, or any other Formatting       changes, and it is Saved as a Plain Text ASCII .TXT file without any       meta data?              The MS Notepad program can show the text in its window in different       Font sizes or styles of my choosing when I'm writing or reading it,       but when it is Saved it doesn't store the Formatting information inside       the file as MS's Wordpad does when it Saves a .RTF file.              Does OS/2 also have a WP Program that comes with it that is similiar to       Wordpad and saves the Formatting/meta data in the file?              I was wondering if You tried using eComStation?              ... Ummmm ... errrrr ..... ahhhhhh....never mind!       --- MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.49       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux        * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1)    |
