@WP is a menu driven word processing system designed to be used by
persons who are not computer oriented to enter, maintain, and print
textual documents, using the EDT V2.0 editor, PIP, and the unsupported
products RUNOFF and SRD.  It makes the commands necessary to operate
these programs invisible to the end user, while presenting a pleasing,
friendly appearance.  The entire system is written in indirect command
file processor "language".  @WP will provide on line help (available by
pressing the ESC key) whenever the user feels unsure about any entry,
and in general has adopted the philosophy of "don't let them make any
big mistakes" throughout.  For example, at a critical point, such as
file name entry, the user is given an "are you sure?" type prompt, and
has a second chance to correct an erroneous character or even a
complete foul up. 

The file naming convention in @WP provides in the file name (and files
can be referenced through SRD by):

	1) The 2 character document type
	2) The 1 character document sequence number
	3) The date in MMDDYY format of the material in the document
	4) The file extension which is .RNO

Also contained in the file header is the date on which the document was
last edited.

So, when @WP has been used for a while, old documents may be looked up
by document type, date of material, or date last edited.  The sequence
number is provided so that different documents of the same type and
date may still be unique.

Only one version (;n) of any file will exist at any time.  This is so
that files may be edited many times and the user will not have to worry
about purging the old versions.  Experience has shown that un-purged
word processing accounts accrue many many versions of the same document.

Note that to make the operation of EDT V2.0 even easier, the startup
command file EDTINI.EDT may be used to set up editor parameters, thus
removing even more commands from the hands of the end users.

Also note that @WP is written to run on either a VT100 or a VT52 type
terminal.
