Yes, "fun" things that you too can do!

1) Go into MS-WORD 1.0.  Pull down a terminal desk accessory (I used the VT52
   DA version 1.4).  Type ^Q.  The control character should go to the DA, but
   WORD will interpret it as the Quit command (the same apparently holds true
   for other things on the menus with a command-key equivalent).

2) Go into MacDraw 1.7.  Pull down any desk accessory or accessories (Apple's
   Alarm Clock will do for this demonstration).  Then select a MacDraw window
   or make a New one.  Watch the desk accessory (or accessories) disappear.

Does anyone know whether these "features" are still present in WORD 1.05 and
MacDraw 1.9?  (And in the case of the former, are the non-Laserwriter-related
changes worth the cost of upgrading from 1.0?)
