Article Abstract:
Word processing is useful in both remote and local communications. Electronic mail systems, multi-windowing, and communication with other word processors and data bases are among a word processor's abilities. Long distance communications are a simple enhancement. Public telephone lines link the word processors to global networks and a modem converts the digital pulses to audible tones. Word processors can access data and information services.
