Many thanks. That worried me too, but I couldn't tell
what Deluxe had -- I thought the macros might just be the
DD Classic capabilities.

I checked since I posted direct to you on this. There's one that says
it's UK but it looks for a US dll and won't install!
-- I did wonder if they weren't bothering with 6.1, which doesn't seem
to be on sale here any more.

I might as well stick until there's a need for it. I might
be better off changing -- the University's moved to 8 --
but I can wait and see. In particular I can wait and see
what Dragon and Corel are up to!
But I'll be getting a new computer as soon as I can, as I'm
about to start some serious long-term writing and am tired
of (some) things taking so long on this trusty old 133!!

Good point, Deluxe will do.
