I have yet to get a clean download of AW5.1, so I can't duplicate your 
problems, but I am aware that a slight change as been made to the .awpath 
dot command in that it no longer appends a "/" to the AppleWorks 
pathname. This is why the autoload macro doesn't believe your AW program 
disk is present (a very surprising and annoying situation for a new 
"bug-free" version). There is a work-around, but you do need to know how 
to manipulate your macro source code to use it. I get back in a day or so 
and let you know what Beverly Cadieux of Kingwood Software has said about 
this problem.

There is a specific macro which does this (it might be sa-N, but don't 
quote me on that). Again, I'll ge bakc to you on that.

Now that's something I CAN'T help with at the moment.
