The Wang WP didn't use the Wordstar diamond. It used function keys heavily, copied later (or ported) by a program called Multimate to the IBM PC.

- hilbert42 6y agoYeah, on second thoughts I reckon you're right. The last time I used one was around '73 - '74 or so - so now it's all pretty vague. The few things that I can recall are that it was a large console model that used 8" floppy disks and editing was as slow as a wet week (writing to the floppy took a long time especially for a large document of around 50-100 pages).
