- There is a Bitnet mailing list called WPCORP-L for discussion of WP Corp
- products (mostly WP itself). This is also gatewayed into a newsgroup
- called bit.listserv.wpcorp-l, and whilst this group makes it all the way
- into the South Pacific, you may have trouble finding someone in Nth
- America to feed it to you.

- WP's hard-coded default language (for spelling check, thesaurus, etc) is
- US English. This is "overcome" by putting a [Lang: UK] code in your
- documents --PRIOR TO-- any text. (Normally procedure would be to put
- such a code in your Setup, Initial Settings, Initial Codes options, so
- it is automatically included in all your newly created docs.) For
- existing docs "Home, Home, up-arrow, Format, Other, Language, UK" should
- do the trick.
