Actually, you probably need MacWrite II.  Not sure about 4.6, but MacWrite
5.0 is incompatible with System 6.0.4 and newer.  When you use the spell
checker, it reportedly sends your document into oblivion one word at a
time.

So, since you gotta use System 6.0.7 on your Mac IIsi, you probably need
to upgrade to MacWrite II.  Claris will probably charge you for that.
