    Printer/PDF support is not really active at this stage, even though the author is trying to get TurboPrint to work with his program, but Ghostscript does allow the saving of PDFs, once installed in Sys:Utilities/GS as only a requester pops-up asking for GS to be installed as in the 'path' stated (not modifiable) otherwise nothing useful happens.

    I thought I would test the image STACKing option (gadget in the right corner of the image GUI), and this basically works, but there is no aspect/ratio perspective preserved when re-sizing the image.

    The Undo option seems to work OK for text, but the number of UNDO/REDO Levels it may handle is not specified in any docs for the program, but hopefully this will be adjustable in the program prefs as the program improves?

    I would hope that text highlighting and cursor page movement will be implemented as I only found that the 'home and 'end' keys move the cursor one word forward or back, wheras on most word processors that would move the cursor to the beginning/end of the line of text. Also, there do not seem to be any other combination keyboard shortcuts, AFAIK, which would be really handy for a wordprocessor.

    It would be nice to have the option to incorporate the ToolBar into the top of the CW Window, as having the toolbar 'floating' over the page can be very distracting, and off-putting.

    Also, the Toolbar has all the MUI/Program options, apart from shrink window/unshrink window, and the back/front gadget, wheras most programs have the MUI options in the main window, and as the Toolbar does not have the Close/Quit program gadget option that seems to be inconsistent with many other programs.

    Also, the program exits immediately, if you opt to quit, but without offering the option to save a file, just in case you've fogotten to do so before you exit the program, which seems like an oversight that should be easy to fix.
