Subject: emulating PF keys
Charles Ess inquired about emulating PF keys. For the Macintosh,
Red Ryder version 10 does a pretty good VT100 emulation, including
PF keys from 1 to 12. The PF keys are mapped onto the number pad
on the Mac keyboard, but for reasons unexplained the rows are flipped
top to bottom; however, Red Ryder comes with a utility called "Install
Keypad" which allows you to re-order the PF keys.
Red Ryder is produced by Scott Watson's FreeSoft Company, 150 Hickory Drive,
Beaver Falls, PA 15010. It began as shareware, but is now commercial. It is
readily programmable if you want to automate recurring operations.

I too use *Word for Word* and find it quite efficient. For those
who have *Nota Bene*, use the XyWrite option with *WfW*, just as
you can with *Ventura Publisher*. To date I haven't had any
problems using this route.
The price of *WfW* in the UK is 143 pounds, plus VAT, plus 10
pounds P&P. Educational establishments may, however, get it
at a discount. Suppliers are
Corporate Software Ltd
Corporate House

Despatch is very quick.
