>>XYWrite. Most confusing program I ever heard of. Yet many, many
non-TW (fiction and non-fiction writers) still swear by it.
Reportedly, if your focus is simply on writing text, writing with
it is fast, transparent, and intuitive.<<

Actually XyWrite mimics the coding used in most computerized
photocomposition typsetting systems such as Atex, Hendrix, Logicon, and
Raytheon. It was more compatible with converting to these programs than
using other WPs. It was the first "WP" I learned as a compositor at a
magazine.
