Does anyone know of a word processor that specifically allows you to write screenplays? I have had no luck in finding any for the Amiga. I have an A2000 and my OS is 2.1. Thanks to all responses in advance. Mike

Mike, I don't know of anything specific but what sort of features are you looking for? Andrew

Mike: Reputably Prowrite is well suited to writing AV scripts (with Image descriptions/transitions on the left, and Narration on the right) using its multicolumn mode. OTOH, if you are looking for something that remembers your characters names for recall at a function key, and formats for you, perhaps you'd be better off continuing the search. Perhaps using Final Copy II's stylesheets would be a solution to the formatting problem. Be sure to let us know if you have success.

Mike; This won't be of much value to you but I do know that there was such a beast. It might have been a shareware on the Fish disks or something. I wish I could be more specific but I was only casually interested and sort of scanned a discussion on one of the networks a year or two ago. -bill
