Blast from the past...

I did what you said about hitting F8...

The only thing that doesn't work now are the OpenApple commands in the Finder, 
yet I can Alt-Ctrl-F2 (OA-Ctrl-Esc), which is strange. There's also apparently 
no way to "save" the battery-backed RAM so the "clock" persists in being 2 
hours ahead of my IBM clock. The "HD" is write protected as is /RAM in the 
BASIC.System interpreter, so I can't do that much with it.

But damn, it is SO weird seeing a real live Apple //gs screen as though it were 
only yesterday that I'd *had* an Apple //gs for real.

Kudos to you, even if you didn't expect your program to work under Win98. :)
