    Or the built-in editor in ProTERM 3.1, if you can manage with
the 45K limit and lack of a spell checker. I find ProTERM is even
safer than AppleWorks Classic, if say your GS randomly freezes,
(mine has recently, probably due to temperature changes affecting 
my accelerator card) you can just Control-Reset to get it back.
I'd imagine AppleWorks would drop into Monitor trying that.

    I've always perferred ProTERM's editor over anything else on
the Apple II, including GS word processors. It _is_ pitiful about
all the bugs in WYSIWYG IIgs word processors, I wouldn't even go
anywhere near AppleWorks GS these days (it's "bit me" too often).
