If you buy the "Apple IIe Enhancement Kit" from your local (but not
necessarily Apple-II-friendly) Apple dealer, it will contain some chips for
you to install: a 65C02 CPU, two firmware ROMs ("CD" and "EF"), and a new
character generator ROM (contains mousetext). Once these chips are installed,
your Apple IIe will be functionally identical to a late-model IIe, and
therefore compatible with such goodies as MultiScribe, Publish-It, ProTERM,
etc.

Up here in Canada, the Enhancement kit is available for the everyday ripoff
price of $100 CDN (approx $86 US). You should be able to get it for much less.
