I had to follow up on this; just couldn't do it sooner -
That's a wow moment, pretty epic and fun! Thanks for sharing that.
The flurry BEHIND that same typewriter would be a sight to behold. :)
(Looks like WordBasic and macro language history before VBA

I enjoyed all the comments and seeing many a great person pop up -
Sorry I couldn't respond to more, but many good ones lately.
I hope you are ALL doing well!
Best wishes,
