Newton- Regarding WordPerfect 5.1 in DOS, I had written a couple of macros that allowed me to enter tunings completed, archived that information, produced a separate document that showed only the previous tuning and the next tuning due date for the entire inventory, could generate a list of tunings due for a particular week, based upon information I would input at the time I was entering the tuning info. It was truly cool. Macro creation in 5.1 was simply a matter of recording key strokes. Each subsequent windows version seemed to have an increasingly complex macro language. There were many people at work who used WordPerfect, but not one had any idea how to write macros. I finally had to ask a willing friend to learn enough to write a windows version of the same set of macros, which took approximately 50 to 70 lines of instruction. Point being, I suppose, that the program has significant power as a resource, if you choose to utilize it. By the way, my kids go to school on your old block...93rd street. I bow every time we pass by.
