AppleWriter IIe DOS 3.3: Ignores Control-O from Apple IIGS

The DOS 3.3 version of AppleWriter IIe is incompatible with the Apple IIGS in that it does not recognize a Control-O for the options menu. If you go into the Print/Program Commands menu, you will also notice that all the defaults are set to zero.
Here's a workaround:

1. Boot up with the DOS 3.3 System Master.
2. Take out the DOS 3.3 System Master and insert AppleWriter IIe DOS version.
3. Type BRUN OBJ.BOOT and return
4. When AppleWriter comes up, press the Return Key. The disk spins, and then the program freezes.
5. Press Control-Reset. A blank screen should appear.
6. Press Control-Reset.

This should bring the program back. The values in the Print/Program are still zero'ed, but you can access the Control-O menu. Make sure not to press Control Open Apple Reset in steps 5 and 6.

The data line still shows mouse text characters. To correct this, run the Apple IIc patch for the DOS 3.3 version of Apple Writer IIe. With this patch, mouse text characters are removed from the data line.
