You might also be able to locate a second hand copy of GEOS, a GUI for 
8-bit II's which was sold by Berkely Softworks (I believe that was the 
company's name). There were a number of GUI programs made by this
company 
- word processor (GEOWrite), spreadsheet, database, even desktop 
publishing. On the whole, reviews of these programs were very good.
