I'm not going to say too much about it here, I'll let you see why I have come to rely so much on this, tiny but powerful, tool. I can honestly say I've never been so happy to stumble across a piece of software, as I was when I saw this little gem. Whether scriptwriting, playwright, Novelist, or just jotting a simple note, this will become the first thing you click on to put words into action. I've thanked the program's author several times, as I always feel I owe him so much. Try it - you'll love it. http://www.salsbury.f2s.com/rd.htm Any writer really should have the excellent RoughDraft in their writing arsenal.

Of course, you might discover others work better for you. Mary, good suggestion. I use it sometimes when we have multiple contributors and all doing it at the same time.

I use it to upload work-in-progress so it can be critiqued and/or edited by group members. It's easy to use and uploaded material can only be accessed by members of the group. Its only limitation is that PDF and other graphics files cannot presently be uploaded. Thanks. Mary I would like to add Google Docs to your list, Meryl.
