RE: Parameter Procedure return value in the parm list (WDSCi)

I guess it works differently for some people than others.  I found that
I was faster after about a day.  It took me a week or two to stop using
the SEU compatibility features.  When I use SEU for an extended period I
don't like it very much.

The head of my department used to say that he could crank out fully
formatted documents with Text Management 38 much faster than he could
with a word processor.  He's since changed his mind.

I think people should use a tool that suits them so I can't criticise
your choice.  I am a little surprised, though.
