I found one, BigNote from Stand Alone - AFAIK it's payware after
thirty days. Being the el cheapo that I am, and given the fact that I
have absolutely zero options for tech support or upgrades, I'm not
sure I want to go the payware route. So if there's a freebie version,
I'd be glad to know what it is.

Now that's interesting.

I bumped into Backdrop Builder last night while I was trawling UNNA.
That's not the same as a stationery builder, but it's intriguing. I
haven't had much chance to hack around with it, though. I was playing
with DyneTK and the NewtOS programming resources.

I found a blank stationery, and that's fine for now - another Stand
Alone package will apparently gauge your stationery lines to match the
leading on your chosen typeface and pont size, but of course it's also
payware.

Finding those packages, though, suggests to me that what I have in
mind is all doable. If it comes down to brass tacks I suppose I could
just write the dadblang things myself, assuming I can get up to speed
with NS. The documentation is all there, after all. It's just a
question of finding the esoterica.

I appreciate your input! Thanks very much!
