[Help!] AppleWorks 2.0 on IIGS



Hi,

I'm trying to get AppleWorks 2.0 to work on the IIGS.  Here's what I've 
tried, and the results of each:

1)  Boot IIGS as normal (from 100 MB HDD with GS/OS 6.0.1).  Put AW2.0 
disk in the 5.25" disk drive.  Open disk on desktop.  Click on 
APLWORKS.SYSTEM.
    Result:  Loads ProDOS, loads AppleWorks side 1 fine.  When it tells 
me to, I flip the disk and hit return. Then it asks for the date, and it 
reads it correctly from the system clock.  I hit enter.  It says "loading 
appleworks into extended memory" (BTW, it reports available memory 
correctly; more than 3 MB free).  But it just sits there.  It won't even 
reboot correctly (hitting Control-Apple-Reset doesn't work).

2) Same as above, but tell it to run the PRODOS file on the disk.
   Result:  Same as above

3) Power up with hard drive off, and AppleWorks disk in 5.25" drive.
   Result:  Same as above

4) I then copied everything from both sides of the disk to a new folder 
in the first partition of my hard drive.  Tried running from both the 
APLWORKS.SYSTEM file, then from the PRODOS file.
   Result: same as above.

I'm fresh out of ideas for how to get this thing to work.  The same disk 
works perfectly on my //c.  What am I doing wrong in trying to get it to 
work on the IIGS?  


Thanks in advance for any assistance,

-Joe
