Skip APW, go for ORCA 2.x (it's from the folks that wrote APW for Apple
under contract and they sell it with some additional features under their
own label).  ORCA is produced/sold/etc by The Byte Works, Inc.   If you
need a phone number for them, let me know - it's here somewhere...

Does your stack of IIGS progamming books include the Toolbox references
and teh GS/OS reference?  If not, you can get the newest stuff from the
Byte Works while you're ordering ORCA and they can point you to where you
can get the rest of the stuff you'll need (probably Resource Central).

Hope that helps,

My opinions are my own.  Do not expose to open flame.  Some Assembly
required.  No Step.  Remove before flight.  They're my feet and I'll put
them in my mouth if I want to. Under penalty of law, do not remove this
tag.  Caution, contains silica gel, do not eat.
