1 have just recently been introduced to WordStar 3.3. I have tried using this program and found it quite good, but confusing at times. I was happy with MSCRIPT 5.3, but still wanted something more powerful and disk-based. (Yes, I have the disk version of MSCRIPT, but I still wish to write longer files without having to stop and save the file, blank the memory, and begin again from the beginning – many times forgetting my train of thought.) WordStar 3.3 showed me that this was the wordprocessor that I needed from the beginning. It is more difficult to learn, but then the switch-over from TASWORD II to MSCRIPT gave me some difficulty as well until I became more familiar with it.
