I know a woman with a lively mind who works as a telephone receptionist
just to make enough money to pursue her real life as a poet. She has
discovered a Compaq which has been delivered and not used, and made it
her own. She knows NOTHING about computers but is totally fascinated
with getting the Compaq up and doing something - reading the DOS manual,
etc and going through the setup step by step.

I would like to obtain for her some software which would reinforce her
interest. Not a word processor and not an acarde or typical adventure
game. I am not a PC type person and have no idea what might be available,
I was thinking along the lines of one of those "conversational" programs
like Eliza or the psychiatrist, but suspect that there must be some
really imaginative recreational software out there. Please mail me your
suggestions as I do not read this group.

Her Compaq apparently has a monochrome monitor, I don't know if it
supports graphics, maybe youse guys do?

Thanks in advance,           Dick Jackson
