Ha ha! (Sorry, petty and misdirected schadenfreude caused by the ATO still forcing me to use Windows to submit my tax return, and then billing me heavily for that privilege).

Would you like me to investigate Windows alternatives? I found Scrivener via a general "writing tools" reference, and I can probably find it again.

It's for plotters, ie those who like to plot a novel before writing it, as opposed to those who write by the seat of their pants.

Ahh, thanks for that. I think I'm a combo-deal, plotting by the seat of my pants. That'll help me over the next few days.

I went through the turorial once yesterday. I'll do it again today. It looks pretty easy to figure, like you say - I especially like the "Full screen" mode (green-on-black-new-courier, baby, yeah!) - but it might let a couple of things stick so I'm not bumped out mid-mindstream.

Write now though, I've got to go collect and mulch palm leaves and bamboo trimmings...

Cheers,
