You can use the mouse to change cursor position-a nice feature if you're used a GEM-based word processor already. My favorite Partner ST feature is the Memopad, a text editor with powerful features such as insert and typeover modes, wordwrap, a bare-bones search function and cut-and-paste buttons that work on a line of text. A "tape button" sends output to the printer, turning your ST into a convenient adding machine. You can perform mathematical and logical operations on hexadecimal or binary numbers. It offers Reverse Polish notation, trigonometric functions and 10 memory locations, and it allows data entry in radians or degrees. You can either click on the number keys with the mouse or use the ST's numeric keypad. The calculator itself has enough features to be a solid standalone desk accessory.

Partner ST comes on two disks and includes Escape, a desk accessory similar to the arcade game Breakout, and a 60,000-word thesaurus, which is so easy to use that the manual devotes more space to the game. If you really want to save memory, there is a mini-version of Partner ST which has four features permanently deactivated.

Fortunately, you can deactivate some of Partner's features and free the extra memory. In addition, at least 7K of extra memory must be reserved if you want to use the memopad. Partner has seven different features, which adds up to a lot of memory-so much, in fact, that some larger programs will not run on a 520ST with Partner ST installed. Even computing novices won't need too much time learning to use these utilities. Experienced computer users probably won't even need documentation to get Partner ST up and running. It can be run either from the desktop or from inside any GEM-based program. Partner ST is a desk accessory-which means that it loads into memory when you turn on your ST and pops onto the screen anytime you click Partner ST on the Desk menu. Timeworks' Partner ST takes that metaphor even farther by giving your desktop an electronic rolodex, memopad, calculator, alarm clock and appointment calendar-in short, just about every office tool you'd keep within reach except paperclips.
