It depends on what you're running on the GSes. If you're running ProDOS 8
then you'll be restricted to simpler programs. If so, your best bet will
probably be AppleWorks. If you're running GS/OS, which you'll know because
your GS desktop will look like a Mac, depending on the amount of RAM you have
in each machine AppleWorks GS might be a good choice. It follows the desktop
interface on the GS, giving you pull down menus, and WYSIWYG editing.
