Hi Jim, I think you just boot up the IIGS with the Focus installed,
which will bring up Finder.  From Finder, insert the AppleWorks
program 3.5" disk.  Now drag the AppleWorks disk icon to the
Focus drive icon.  Finder will tell you "disks are different sizes,
copy [the AppleWorks disk] to a folder on [the Focus drive]?"

Click OK.

Wait for the copy process.

When it is done, just double click on the Focus drive's icon,
then double click on the new AppleWorks folder, and finally
double click on the AppleWorks System file.

As long as you don't delete any of the files on the hard disk
or format it by accident, you won't ruin the operating system.
Good luck.
