 BW>I found myself with a Word for Windows 6.0 document that I had to

Maybe I can get an upgrade to Magellan that will let me save it as an ASCII 
file,

 BW>61T051 refers to on the web site.  (There's a problem with the www

I thought it was in the listing of the ZIP archive that you posted on Nov. 
16; but looking back at it, I see that there is a CVX for 5x but not 6.

Thanks for the tip. Guess I'll stop by Office Depot and Staples, and see what 
I can find in their closeouts bin.
