block moves, search and replace, margin control, windows, and multiple headers and footers are supported. Footnotes, table of contents, and indexes can be generated when a document is printed. Multiple fonts are allowed in printed documents. The program generates ASCII files, which means that moving information from PC- Write to other programs is not a problem. For advanced users, the program has an internal keyboard macro option. The program has a host of other features too numerous to list here.

Commands are entered using function keys and special key combinations, and most WordStar commands also are supported by the program. PC- Write uses separate programs for editing and printing documents.

Because of the improved help menus and tutorial in Version 2.6, novice users can master the basics of the program in a short period of time. Using the program's advanced features will require some learning effort, but this is required by most software packages. The maximum file size allowed by the program is 60K, which is about 30 double- spaced pages, but large documents can be accommodated by breaking the text into smaller units.

In summary, this is an excellent word processing program that is especially attractive to educational users because of the liberal distribution policies.
