   Yeah, that roughly means that there is no space available for
adding files. You either have a corrupted version of Appleworks which
is misreporting the amount of ram, not enough ram in the system, or
addons (timeout, etc) are eating up whatever ram you do
have. Appleworks 2.0 wants 128K of ram to have a decent (55K) sized
desktop; do you have that amount installed?
