Hi Vince,
not sure about a Widget, but it may be the same as a ProFile:

Initialize a
Startup ProFile
and Install
the Tools

To initialize a ProFile as the startup device
If the Lisa is on, turn it off by pressing the on-off
button once.
Insert the diskette labeled Office System 1 into the
upper built-in floppy disk drive.
Insert the diskette labeled Office System 2 into the
lower built-in floppy disk drive
Attach the blank ProFile
to the built-in parallel
connector on the back
of the Lisa.
Turn on the ProFile. Wait
until the ready light
stabilizes.

Initialize a
Startup ProFile
and Install
the Tools
(continued)

When you hear a click from the cabinet, hold down the
key while pressing 1 on the main keyboard - not
the 1 on the numeric keypad on the right of the
keyboard.
When this message appears, move the mouse on your
desk until the pointer is over the box that says Install.
Click the mouse button once.
If this message appears, move the mouse until the
pointer is over the box that says Erase.
Click the mouse button once.
Turn on the Lisa by pressing the on-off button once.
