"MS Word doesn't put anything in when you are using it as a text
editor. If you are in .doc or .rtf format, then you are not using it as
a text editor."

Didn't even know that MS Word could be used that way... thought it
could only save files in .txt format. As I said, I think MS Word is a
lousy application typical of much of the crap that Microsoft makes and
I stay as far away from MS applications as I can. Personally, I would
rather spend $40 for a real text editor rather than a word processing
application that tries to be a text editor.....but if it works for you
that's cool. As I said in another thread text editors like CADCAM are
religion.

Were you going to answer the USB / PCMCIA question I asked you ?
