I've called Addison-Wesley and got the poop.

They are selling something called Student Edition of Pagemaker 4.0.
It is limited to 12 pages and does not have on-line help.  They do
include a reference card to replace the help function.  They include
a more how-to-do-it style manual designed for student use.  They
plan to make this available through University bookstores for about
$50 per copy (to quote: " .. the price of a textbook .." ).

The person I talked with was very keen on having this package 
used in standard coursework.  I'm not sure for what courses this
would be sensible (perhaps writing lab reports, etc), but for
the price I imagine it would be very attractive.  Even if it is
crippled.
