Not at all.  Buy a RamFactor card from Applied Engineering (let them know
that you want it for an AppleWorks/II+ combination), and you will be able
to run it with the software they supply.  You will also have the advantage
of a 250K desktop, increased clipboard and maximum document size, etc.

You use the escape key instead (hit escape twice to do a "real" escape).  You
must also have the one-wire shift-key mod installed (they will supply the
necessary equipment for a nominal fee).  It's a pain, but if you REALLY want
to use AppleWorks...
