Instead of WP 6 DOS, I would suggest Kedit ($ but well supported) or THE
(The Hessling Editor, free with user support).  Both are text editors as
distinct from word processors and both use rexx macros.  Kedit is
windows only AFAIK and has its own rexx called kex built in.  THE is
available for both windows and 'ix platforms and requires an external
rexx processor such as regina.
