Bob Wallace's PC Write was a really nice word processor.

One feature in particular was pretty cool. You only used one function key to complete a function fully. Let me explain. If you need to move a block, you mark with the move key and move with the move key. Same goes for copy. Just keep pressing that key multiple times. I guess you could call it modal marking. I thought it was pretty nice at the time. -- RonPerrella
