The way that Apple writes this name is IIGS, with GS in small caps. If 
you like, you may write IIgs. But I've never heard of the Outlook 
problem you mention? What is it? Doesn't Outlook like double slashes?

If you have a DOS 3.3 disk that can boot into Applesoft BASIC, you can 
create new disks by writing a program and then typing INIT xxx, where 
xxx is the new name for the program. When you boot from that disk, the 
computer runs program xxx.

Sure, I happen to have an image of the DOS 3.3 System Master on my 
harddisk right here. How do you want it?
If you got a harddisk with your GS, you're better off using GS/OS, by 
the way. DOS 3.3 doesn't do the GS justice.
