Hi Jasen:

It was Friday April 25 2003. "wordstar and text modes," murmured
you to All.

I haven't used WordStar in anger for ages (and WordStar 4 is a very old
memory indeed, although I still have WS6) but I'm sure it could be
configured in such a way that if you passed it a filename on the
commandline it would start in nondocument mode automagically...

Bests,

Tim
