Wild! I still run WordStar7 under XP so I can access old files from my
Kaypro days. Haven't cared much for the old WS diamond since the
control key moved into the damn corner of the keyboard. For years I
swapped the capslock and control key (in both DOS and windoze) but
finally gave up (too many different machines that I couldn't control)
and just got used to it.
The control key belongs next to the A but I've been out-voted by /them/
8^) If it was good enough for teletypes and Sun it should be good
enough for everyone (Big Smile) ...and these days I have trouble with
Sun keyboards because they kept the control key where it belongs. oh
well... on the old Kaypro I wired a foot switch in parallel with the
control key so it was alot more convenient.
...have I gotten *sufficiently* off topic? I'm sorry, I couldn't
resist, I'm one of those old farts that actually got to empty the bit
bucket (remember card and paper tape punches?). Sometimes the old ways
are still valid otherwise we wouldn't be so hard over about an OS that
mimics UNIX. I like the xscreensaver and the ability to manipulate
images, but I still use a command line for doing anything that matters.

All this talk about Word Star tempts me to dig out my CP/M machine
out of storage, and connect it to a serial port on my Linux machine.
I have Word Star installed on the hard drive. (Along with a bunch of
other stuff.) I could transfer it over the the Linux box and play
with the CP/M emulator. (Yes, I do have a 20M MFM hard drive
connected to a Z-80 based CP/M system.)
