What an interesting answer. :-)
As someone who programs computers for a living I would rather expend more
time on the product than force the users to re-do their work to compensate
for my own laziness.
Now I know that Valerie is not a programmer and her comments are those a
lay-person. As SignWriter is her product it is, of course, her decision as
to what features are or are not in it.
(And in case you ask Valerie, I'm still looking into the problem of running
SignWriter 4 under Windows NT. Unfortunately, the paying work has gotten in
the way of that work.)
