Thanks David, I just discovered last night that it is indeed AppleWriter.
I think I likely have every version on hand but I've hever run the
program befoe. Correction, my storage room likely has every version, I
onlt have 3 versiond an hand .My first word processor was Magic Window
and from there I went to AppleWorks so by the time I got AppleWriter
I already had a more recent WP.
1.1 is the last DOS 3.3 version I have on hand and unfortunetly there's
no way to save as normal text. I'll try digging into my storage room but
finding anything there is a trick in itself.
