But, "text > processor" = editor, then? Nope. A text processor is a stand-alone program; you might call it a "text assembler". You write up a source file full of formatting commands embedded the running text. You can use any editor for this, from ed to emacs. Then you feed that file to the formatter, and it outputs nicely formatted text, with equations, figures, and so on, in PS, PDF, HTML, or even straight text. --Dale -- "Don't only practice your Art, but force your way into its Secrets, for it and Knowledge can raise Men to the Divine." -- Ludwig van Beethoven
