Walter,
I am not Harry, but it seems as JFW is geared toward Microsoft products.
There are help menus you can receive by pressing insert + F1, insert + F1
twice, shift + f1, or insert + h that can help you learn and run the OE and
IE 5 a lot easier, than a program that is not JFW supported. One of the
things that I find annoying is that each release of JFW seems to be
different in the way that they treat different programs. For an example in
OE4 the new release does not work well. and you are forced into upgrading
the program to OE 5. At the present time I have four versions of JFW to run
the programs I have on my computer that are not supportive by JFW. That is
why I say that if you can use a Microsoft product you are better off for it.
