Found: The Perhect word processor.

My search is over, and no, I didn't misspell it.

Tomos... you don't suppose... it's a silly joke about "minding your Ps and Qs"?

Yep, that's what I thought, too.

But the more you think about it, the less it seems like a joke and the more it challenges your notions of work we do on a computer. Kind of like a software extension of the joke (whose subject is the proverbial fair-haired female with low intelligence but high enthusiasm)

"How do you know when a (proverbial character) has been on your computer? There's white-out on the screen."

How could you not love the UI? Reminds me a little of the original MacWrite.
