<p>I had a word processing business before I went both feet into
writing. When I started using WordStar, I used a program called
Smartkeys to map the Burroughs Redactron keyboard to WordStar.
Eventually, I had to migrate over to WordStar. <br>

me, it wasn’t the interface that I miss it was the ability

just plain writing. My favorite was Xywrite on CP/M (on a
Kaypro II), but the same themes apply. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
