     Sounds like a column by Larry Thompson in The
Miami Herald many years ago.  He said he set the clocks
back.  So did his wife.  So did his kid.  Sunday
morning was VERY confused.
     No comment on using DOS WordPerfect and Windoze
anything - I refuse to try!  I had a HP682C and now an
870Cse and had a few peculiar things happen, even with
WordPerfect DOS. Usually, I they are WordPerfect's
fault as the unexpected changes occur on screen.
     My most recent "problem" was a table: 2 columns by
4 rows.  I had joined A3 and A4 and placed a graphic at
the top of A3.  When printed, the graphic was at the
top of A4 (i.e., the center of the joined cells).  I
went around in circles with this.  Finally, I looked at
it in PAGE mode and it showed the graphic where it was
printed.  And it refused to go where I wanted it.  I
finally split the 2 cells apart again and put the
graphic where it belonged!  (There were no table lines,
anyway.)
