- I certainly hope WP or some other word processing application for the NeXT will
- support STYLES and DESCRIPTIONS like those found in Ami Pro for Windows.
-
- For those of you that have not used Ami, when saving a file a use may enter a
- short description. When opening files, the user may also select to quickly
- view these descriptions as filenames are selected, displaying the files
- description. Very usefull when you have memo1, memo2; boss1, boss2, ...,
- bossn, etc.
-
- Does anyone know if this may or may not be supported. What about Appsoft's
- Writenow?
