ToolManager works fine with the middle_button - I've got two docks,
one invoked by midbutton only, one by leftbutton+midbutton.
I am not writing on an Amiga at the very moment, but I think have
to set something like 'rawmouse midbutton mouse_middlepress' for the
former and 'rawmouse leftbutton mouse_middlepress' for the latter.
The middle mousebutton *should* work with every commodity - it's
normally parsed by the commodity.library. I've heard that you can
not use the midbutton only (without qualifier) in some versions of
the WB... I didn't try it. But it works with Toolmanager.

>Specifically, I'd like to use it to switch screens

Dunno.

I have two suggestions:
	1.  Final Copy -- If you dont regularly need automatic footnotes and
	                  math equation support and other advanced features like
					  that.  Best Printing for the amiga.

	2.  Amiga TEX  --  Excellent for technical stuff.  But difficult to

What will the output be like on a Cannon BJ-5 printer (very similar to

Are there a reasonable number of built-in fonts to choose from?

Amiga Tex is my suggestion for you.  It wont be that bad writing 100 page
document in Tex.  The hardest part is setting up the page to make it look
the way you want it to look, but you only do that in the beginning of the
document and not very many times within the document.  Once you get the
hang of it (around 10 pages or so) things get very easy -- YES even those
funky mathematical symbols become trivial.  Typing is just like typing in
any other text based word processor.

Instead of buying a Mac emulator, save your money and buy yourself a
postscript laser printer.  They're not much more than the price of a Mac
emulator plus an HP 500.

Additional feature I have not seen in any spooler yet...

*  The capability to send the file to the printer using someting other
than the basic "type <file> to prt:" type of printing.  I have a HP DJ500
and use the PF command to do all of my printing (which I do in landscape

A friend of mine had a nifty program for his Mac (I think it was Image

database of images he had on his hard drive. It would put up thumbnails
(icon sized versions of the original images) which you could browse
through and then double click on an icon to bring up the full sized image.

Does anybody know if such a program exists for the Amiga?

Most people use Latex, which is essentially a style based text processing
system. Entering straight text is simple. In addition many universities
have the style files you need to conform to the thesis style. Check with
your thesis office. In addition there are a large number of style files
in the public domain for special formatting tasks. Check the FAQ of
comp.text.tex.

Amiga Tex is commercial version of Tex. There is a public domain version
for the amiga called PasTex. I use Amiga Tex. It was easy to install, 
works well and has all the fonts I need.

This doesn't appear to solve anything on my machine.  It still does the

You can ftp PasTex from wuarchive.wustl.edu.  Cant remember the exact

Trying to write a 100+ page paper in anything _but_ TeX is going
to be hell.  Various macro packages for TeX (LaTeX, Phyzzx, TeXsis) allow
you to easily section your thesis into chapters, sections, subsections, and
allow you to easily make tables.  Tables, equations (and figures) can be easily
referenced by name in other parts of the paper.  If you add more tables
or equations or figures, or you move the ones you have, or you add a section
before the table or whatever, you will not have to find and relabel
sixty-jillion references if you're using one of these nice packages because
all the references automatically track the position of the object that they
refer to.

In addition, TeX was _designed_ to make writing equations easier.
Every serious mathematician or physicist who has to use complicated
notation uses TeX.  If you intend on going far in your field, and you
need to do this kind of thing often, you will eventually need TeX anyway.
To make the characters that you wanted is as easy as saying:

\int \partial \infty \sqrt

and the size of the signs changes to accommodate the formulae to which
they apply.

Printer drivers for postscript laser printers and HP language compatible
devices are available from Radical Eye Software as well as a very nice
TeX package including a previewer.  Other TeX implementations are
available by ftp, but I don't know what they have.  AmigaTeX drivers
also support the inclusion IFF and postscript figures in the text.
