18 xwordgrinder is a simple character cell word processor that runs on
19 X11. It is primarily designed for text entry. It's designed to get the
20 hell out of your way and let you write; it does very little, but what
21 it does it does well.
22
23 It supports Unicode, basic paragraph styles, basic character styles,
24 basic screen markup, a menu interface that means you don't have to
25 remember complex key sequences, HTML import and export, and some other
26 useful features.
27
28 When running, pressing ESC (or ALT + menu shortcut key) will open the
29 menu.

52 a : for use when importing or exporting WordGrinder files.
