I posted an article a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone knew why,
when using AppleLink, we are supposed to set the printer port options
to buffered and change the handshake.  A couple of days later our
machine/net interface got hosed and I missed several days worth of
postings.  I see that there have been articles posted about AppleLink,
because I am seeing the replies and followups, but I've not seen anything
addressing my specific question: Why must we adjust the printer port
as well as the modem port, and can we operate AppleLink properly without
doing so?

I also have a question about AppleWorks GS.  I just got the update 
info package from Claris, and it includes a list of product options.
My question here is: Is the user interface the same, i.e. does AWGS
use the same keyboard commands in addition to pull-down menus?
I think AWGS is a mistake if not because there is such a large user
community out there, and I think people will object strongly to
learning a new command structure after building expertise in AW.
The package I got does not address this question at all.
