 Replying to [comment:3 morgs]:
 > What would you say is missing from Read to make it a "full fledged"
 activity?

 My point of view is concerned with the *philosophy* of 'viewing a
 document'.  My opinion was formed at a time when it seemed to me that Read
 could not do much.  Please do not ask *me* "how to make Read full
 fledged?".

 Back when Read was just a 'helper', somebody must have shared my
 philosophy -- instead of "enhancing" Read, they created another 'helper'
 (Read ETexts) for another kind of document.

 To me, the proliferation of 'plugins' in cyberspace is evidence of
 acceptance of a 'helper' point of view -- create dedicated software-
 bundles which each do one job -- instead of cramming full fledging into a
 single software-bundle.

 [[BR]]In my opinion, there are/will_be too many document formats to put
 them all into Read.
