Hi Joe,

I used to use a commodore 64 maybe 20 years ago.  Send Gerry an email with 
a sample.  As I remember the 64 it had some strange ideas about word 
processing, I hope the 128 is more reasonable.  Gerry will work with you 
and see what can be done.  His email and various addresses (Editorial & 
Advertising Office) can be found on page 1 of all of the QCWA Journals.

I had to add an external module to my 64 to make some of the text 
processing even print correctly.  My first office PC.  The telco that I 
worked for was a Radio Shack dealer and sold the commodore PCs so I got one 
for my use.  Wasn't too long before I managed an upgrade to IBM clone.

Give it a shot!
