hm, yes CED is excellent. but what I want is to configure Amiga as a simple typewriter for my father.
he never used a computer before!
I think the (proportional) fonts will look better on screen (easier to read..) with 'real' word processor. and it could do 'what you see is what you get' (print view). and I need to use some non-latin characters, not sure how CED would handle those.
also, using '060 and PIV to run mostly just CED seems like a waste 
I started my Dad out on an A500 probably 15+ years ago when he was in his late 60's and had never used any computer before. He then graduated to purchasing his own A3000 with my help and used that for a couple of years before finally moving on to a PC and Windows because he lived too far away for me to help him stick with the Amiga. He now has an old iMac he found on eBay cheap, and uses it every day to send emails and do some browsing on the Interweb. He also used Final Copy, then Final Writer on the Amiga before moving on to other OSes and platforms.
