I also used it for many years as well. The only problem I had was getting certain things aligned. But was still a great program. I only moved on after I got GEOS and could see what it looked like before I printed it out (what a ink, paper, and time saver in that regard). Not to mention spell checking. -Game

My students and I took turns typing in Speedscript 1.0 when it came out. With the later versions/bugfixes/enhancements to Speedscript, I just got the pre-made disk version. No more MLX typing for me!
