[Coco] HDBDOS And Word Processors

[elderpav at yahoo.com]

HI all,

I don't post much, but I just have this burning question...

I've tried a number of non-OS9 word processors for the Coco, and I haven't found any so far that play nice with HDBDOS. Either they won't work at all, or they only support drive numbers 0-3. Do any of you know of a word processor that works best with HDBDOS and hard drives, be it virtual or physical?

Thanks,
