   Howdy! 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!
