- As always, it's a religious question. I just hated it: My little
- brain simply refused to learn all those two-fold control key combinations.
- I was always lost and had to look through the Help info or through the
- manual. There was no possibility for me to remember those key bindings.
- So I plainly couldn't use it. I remember several software products
- which proudly advertised they were Wordstar-compatible in much of their
- commands, for me always a severe down point.
