Here's a first cut at the answer, based on having Word 5.0 and reading some 
reviews (which I don't have handy)--so more knowledgeable answers are welcome! 
Mathtype definitely allows you to double-click the equation to edit it, and I 
think Expressionist has a drop-in module that also allows it. I think there are 
some differences in whether you have to launch Exp. first, or some minor 
feature like that. Note that a limited version of MathType comes as part of 
Word 5 (I think what is omitted is the export in TeX and some palettes).

Yes, both programs will allow you to export the equation in TeX format.

Hi there.  Hewlett Packard released some printer drivers for the PaintJet
printer.  I believe that you just need to contact your local HP dealer and
they will be able to order them for you.

There is one hitch to this.  If you have a standard serial port (RS232) on
your PaintJet printer - all you need is the printer driver and a standard
Macintosh serial printer cable (DIN8 to ImageWriter II).  If you have a
parallel port on your PaintJet, you will have to purchase a serial to
parallel converter cable.  This is where the pain starts...

Let me know which port you have...

Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.apps

I am using Word 5.1a, and I am getting very frequent "unexpectedly quit
application 'unknown'" occurring. I first noticed it when trying to use
Help; removing ATM solved that. However, I still get it frequently when
closing the Header window, using the Page Up or Page Down keys, changing
windows, and also what seem like other random times. It doesn't happen
every time I do one of those things, though.

I guess that it is an extension conflict, and I'm going to try the
laborious one-at-a-time experimentation, but before I do I wanted to see if
anyone knows of previously reported conflicts. I'm using a IIci with System
7.0.1 plus tuneup, 8 meg RAM. I have the following extensions active:
Disinfectant, Extensions Manager extension, Apple Modem Tool, Directory
Assistance II, LaserWriter, PrintMonitor, QuickTime, SuperLaserSpool,
System 7 Tuner, TrashMan Engine, After Dark, ColorSwitch, DoubleScroll,
FileSaver, Helium 1.0, MacSLIP, MacTCP, Memory, MenuChoice, Reminder,
SoundMaster 1.6, SuperClock!, LaserWriter Utility, Scrapbook, Talkd,

Just a little tidbit to past along for what its worth.
I have Superpaint 3.0 and have been having problems with

file would come back cut off at the bottom! Strange stuff.
I call Silicon Beach (or whoever they are now) and got the
usual, "TURN OFF EVERYTHING ELSE" response.  Well I had tried
turning off possible problem INITs but was too lazy up till
now to systematically turn um off one at a time till the
culprit appeared.  Turned out to be IconWrap 1.01 a little
INIT that cause startup ICONs to build on the screen left to
right then 2nd row left to right etc. Thought I'd past it on
in case someone else was having the same problem.  Also, its
really no big deal, but is there a IconWrap type program out
there that I could use which is more polite (this one's from
1988) or is there a more recent version than 1.01?

I thought my prayers were answered when I saw Rick McCormack's note on shaping
boxes in PageMaker 3 but alas, it doesn't work.
not in pagemaker 4.2.

The problem concerns the use of 4.2 in an office to which the software is
actually registered, but the manual has gone bye-bye (it went away with the
employee who purchased the software for the office.) The user has a desperate
desire to make graphic boxes that are not boxes, either for wrapping text
around or fitting text in. I admit I have tried everything I can think of and
can't get PM to place a graphic box that is not a rectangle, nor can I reshape
the box once placed into anything other than a rectangle. I know PM must have
this capability, since one of the options for wrapping text is to wrap it
around an irregular boundary -- I have never been able to select this option.

I won't bore you with the sys. config. since I don't think there's a problem
with anything beyond my (or anyone else in the office's) inability to figure
out how to do it.

Hi,

I need a text editor that can "Publish"[1] in its native format
(i.e. with format and font information intact.)  I've only
ever seen "Publishers" which use plain-text format.  Is there
a text editor that can do this?

Why?  

Quark X-Press can translate "Subscribers" using the same
filters it uses for "Import."[2]  One could modify text from
within Quark, but one runs the risk of screwing up the whole
layout; therefore, it would be nice to use a nice simple
text editor for the text, and just use a "pointer" from
the Quark document to the text.  Leave Quark to the Art
department.

	That's correct.  As a member of the DWG (Disinfectant Working Group)
and one of the people who got John to put the AE's into Disinfectant in the
first place (so that MicroPhone could talk to it), I grabbed the bull by the
horns when John had to give supporting them up due to time.

	I have been improving the suite and working with developers (both the
anti-viral folks & others) to incorporate support for the Anti-Viral Apple
event suite into their products.  At this time all of the Mac AV products
either support the suite (SAM 3.x, Rival 1.2, Virus Detective 4.x (application))
or have promised to support it in their next revs (Central Point AV & Virex).
Also, in addition to StuffIt, expect to see more products supporting sending
them.
	If anyone would like information about the AVAE suite, feel free to
send me EMail.

The mac version is not just a simple port, at least that's what all the rumors

bugs, it was a mac game and not a simple port. In any case, all rumors of the
