If it has a 16K RAM (Language) card, it can use AceWriter, originally Magic
Window II. This uses the hires screen for simulated 70 column text and is
menu driven. Hard to find, but a possibility.

I have a copy of a 40 column WP I typed in from a BASIC listing. No lower
case supported on screen, but it is on the printer. Mail or call if you'd
like it. It, well, it works.
