I need help.  Please MAIL me your reply.

My wife's MAC at work (which someone found in storage recently) seems to
work, but I'm having trouble helping her.

A minor problem is that I am having trouble backing up her only copy of 
MacWrite (following the manual exactly).

Most serious is that I am unable to share some of my apllications with her
that I have on 800K disks.  I've tried formatting 400K disks on her
drive, but when I go to my Mac Plus the disks act strange (showing more
memory capacity) and even stranger when I try to use them on her machine.
(As in SYSTEM BOMB).   Someone suggested that there is some special procedure 
for transferring stuff from "real" Macs to the original ones.

Please help.
