Text Editing (novice to the core)

I just bought a TI-89 titanium, the reason being that for the last years i have been using the scientific notebook, which was provided by my school.I've just completed my studies recently.
I have loads and loads of notes that are stored in the sci-notebook, these include diagrammes, with calculation etc.
My questions, are

1. is the WordRider the answer to my dilema?

2.If so, how do i go about installing it on my TI..do get to buy an installing disk, or do i get a downloading link?

3. Are there other programmes that im supposed to have already downloaded prior to downloading the WordRider, due to compartibility of running the WordRider? (ps. i havent as yet, downloaded any thing on my new TI_89 tttanium

4. Ti site suggested a prog they call notefolio, is it compartible to WordRider?..or will it prompt my TI into crashing, and of course the limited amount of space by downloading both prog's...?

5. What about texts that are written with the prog.Math Type..for those that are not accustomed to Math Type, it is a mathematical programe which is compartible to Word, and has thus features that enable a word user to inlude mathematical texts on their word document, ie fractions, integral signs etc
However, once you paste these mathematical texts on your word document, you cannot alter them directly without erasing the entire text because this is just like when you are pasting an image on a word document.
Is it possible to download such files on my TI-89 titanium with WordRider and that they will show both texts and images..do i have to index the images/diagrames say picture 1, picture 2. ..etc

Thanks (In advance) for taking your precious time in reading and helping me out.

Probably not. WordRider is not intended to store too much of text.

WordRider is free. See [wordrider.net]

For running WordRider you need Java SE installed. See [wordrider.net]
For viewing generated text files you will need PreOS and TxtRider or uView or Hibview. This table should help you to choose any you want [wordrider.net]. See flash tutorials how to install them [wordrider.net]
Some people reported me, that they also needed a HW3Patch on TI89 Titanium.
See this for more info [www.ocf.berkeley.edu]
For sending files into calculator you will need either Ti Connect (you can find it on your CD which was shipped with calc) or TiLP ([lpg.ticalc.org])

WordRider is able to import Notefolio files. But I don't recommend to use Notefolio. See why: [wordrider.net]
Viewers are small. There probably won't be a problem with a space.

There is no such possibility at this time. It's neccesary to rewrite math expression into WordRider with TI math format.

You're welcome.
