- It's already out. (SAS 6.07) Just FYI, there's also a mouse and menu
- mode for SAS on CMS, as well. (from a graphics terminal like a 3179g)
- It even has pull-down menus and dialog boxes. You may have to learn
- GUI support even if you do only stick with the big iron. :)
-
- Now if only my tape of WordPerfect 5.1 would arrive. I say that,
- crossing my fingers hoping that they've fixed the dozens of bugs and
- problems with 5.0.

- I'll just sit here and meditate: "Orem... Orem.. Orem... " :-)
