How big is the average screenplay? I don't know offhand if pedit can be programmed through pscript to do what you want. But one basic difference between pedit and WordSmith is that pedit only edits Palm Memopad records. Depending upon which Palm OS version you have, those are 4K or 32K in size. Wordsmith can edit Memopad records, Palm "doc" files, or converted RTF files, and the latter two don't have the length restrictions. I use and love WordSmith, and I'm tickled that screenwriters use it, but I'm not sure I'd want to try crafting a screenplay on a Palm OS PDA. What sort of problems are encountered dumping a WordSmith file into a screenplay formatter? ______ Dennis ------------------------------------ Latest pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack at http://www.osuweb.net/~pc/pca/pc_all.zip pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack scripting info/resources at http://www.peditors.com Peditors Forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peditors Unsubscribe by writing to peditors-unsubscribe-hHKSG33Tihh4sT85+ipIM4ckdKdSAMto@public.gmane.org!
