Al-yoo-min-ee-um. Too many syllables. The metal has cooled before you can finish saying the word.
American English is more succinct. However, British English is more fun.

There are lots of edit command solutions.Nowadays one would always write a report or correspondence in the appropriate product be it Notepad, Word or the like and simply send it from Pick using PrintWizard or similar.My preferred method is Word. Admittedly, as in Pick, one has to reset some of the awful US defaults. Pick first step is SET-DATE not forgetting the century gotya. Word and Printers need to be set for sensible paper, typically A4 - maybe a Dickens enthusiast chose the ridiculous Letter that causes all Internet printouts to waste a page if one is not careful. Spell Checker needs to be set to Australian English and the default key board to English International. I would also recommend that the document be saved as PDF for transmission, all done.Thinking back we started using WordStar in 1982, no wonder Jet vanished. I believe that there may have been a Pick follow up for Dan Bricklin's VisiCalc that has also vanished!
