Ann,
Back then, I wasn't using word processors, but that feature is such a
common one in just about any text editor that I'm astounded it isn't part
of DBTW's editor.

Here here Steve. Do you all remember good old Word Perfect for DOS when you were expected by the creators of that wonderful old program to know what you wanted to do with your data and you could pull one file after another into the same open document? Ah those were the days. DUXWP was a good old program too. I miss them both like old friends gone away.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to see an option in the File Menu that would allow a file to be inserted into an already existing document. To understand why, consider the following scenario:
I am assembling a newsletter consisting of several articles, each of which comes to me in a separate file. Since I want the final result to be a DBT file, I start by importing the first article into DBT. For each subsequent article, I have to open the file, select all of it, copy it to the clipboard, close it, go back to my original file, and paste in the contents of the clipboard. While this is certainly doable, the process would be much simpler if there was an option that allowed me to insert each new article into my original file at the location of the cursor.
