   Beverly,

         Can you clear something up for me, I am little confused on
AppleWorks history.   

   The last Apple // version that was relased was AppleWorks 3.0
correct?  So did 4.0 and 5.1? Didn't Apple sell AppeWorks to who did
those or is 4.0 and 5.1 just all the Begal Bros stuff inbeded into the
complete package?
