If you use Edita, you only have to type "pro" to get

PS I am getting close to a new release now. I've added something I've called
"legacy tab character handling" to solve one of the thornier issues, please see
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ltchelp.txt and let me know if
anything does not make sense. Hopefully there will be some software to go with
that text file in the not too distant future.
