    Well, my reports have to be printed on machines at my University, which
don't have Emacs installed on, and I can't go installing Emacs whenever I need
to print.  (the machines are refreshed to a standard image every once an a
while).  I could telnet to a UNIX machine and print from there, but the truth
is, I know/like WordPerfect.  There is nothing missing from WordPerfect for
report writing, and it isn't worth my time (now) to learn to use
enriched-mode.
