My favorite program for light writing is Abiword, both Portable and Installed. Abiword has an appearance similar to regular word processors and is easy to use without a learning curve. It does not handle copying graphics readily, and recently I discovered a program called Jarte, which in appearance is unique but is very good at graphics cut-and-paste. It will run as a portable, but it would be nice to be able to access it from the PortableApps Menu. Is this possible to achieve? THANX lostdoggie2

From the download page:
""Just the Files" Install:
The following install file is a simple zip file containing the Jarte program and associated files. There is no installer or uninstaller, no desktop or start menu icons are created, and no registry or other system changes are made. This download alternative is suitable for advanced users who want to perform a manual install or for users who want to install Jarte to a USB flash drive. Create a Jarte program folder to unzip the program to (or use your existing Jarte folder if you are upgrading), and be sure to turn on your zip program's Use folder names setting before unzipping!"
The executable for Jarte is in the top directory of the application's folder structure, so it is picked up automatically by PAM. You are responsible for data backup, as Jarte doesn't follow the PAF file structure.
