Specifically, the Appleworks "splash" screen with the credits... ie: the
first screen that belongs to Appleworks after the Prodos startup screen.

All three files are present, however the configuration does not happen
automatically. There is a system file called MEM.SYSTEM which allows you

+800K desktop :)
