Yup, Sesame 2.0 has several features to make document merging much simpler. Simplest among these is the command "Merge File Print". It sits in the command tree under "Results Commands". If you select it, you can then select a document, any document that is vaguely ASCII (such as HTML, Postscript, RTF (I suspect that most people will go for RTF)), and perform a data merge on that document from Sesame. Sesame will then create the merged document and print it using the defaults for that document type in your OS. Because it does use the defaults for the document type, you can set that to simply print, send a fax, send email, convert to another format, or simply save the document.
All you need to prepare that document is basically any word processor that can output any ASCII-ish format and put the LE names into the document surrounded by "[[" and "]]".
There is also a new SBasic command: MergeFilePrint(filename as string, extension as string, start_match as string, end_match as string, list_of_matches as string, new_file as string, fold as int) that basically lets you do the same thing from SBasic, but with a lot more flexibility - such as specifify the "bracing" characters, and folding blank LEs in the output.
In any case, neither of these command require that you learn a new word processor (or an old one), you can use the one you know.
