Thank you for all the replies. I suppose I should have been more specific about my needs.
A text editor may very well be all I need. The last two novels I wrote in notepad on Windows XP. Later I did import them into MS-Word to do a spell-check and eventually do some formatting so I could print it out in a book style and bind the pages. However, for the original writing, a text-editor is probably all I need. I don't want to spend forever learning how to use word-perfect again. I used to use it on an MS-DOS machine years ago and it was horrible.
The thing is.. When I was in high-school I had an A500 (a different one from the one I have now) and I had a word-processor for it. I just can't remember the name. I used to do my school reports on it. it was only a single floppy disk and it did have WYSIWYG style, but it didn't do too much, just basic formatting and styles, similar to what you might get with wordpad on Windows 95 or something of the sort. But that would be very adequete as long as it could save as plain text so I could eventually import it into MS-Word. I would just like to be able to say at the end credits or something that I wrote it using an original Amiga 1000.
I'd actually write it on my C128 or C64 if I thought it could handle it without me waiting all day on it. besides, I think converting the document to my PC would be easier with an Amiga based program.
