Hi Richard,

If you're talking about speeding up the start up and new document  
process for AppleWorks, you can clean out the Recent Files directory  
as a large number of files in this folder will cause a huge slow down  
when AppleWorks is starting up.

Go to the following folder:

Users: <yourusername>: Documents: AppleWorks User Data: Starting  
Points: Recent Items:

Open the Recent Items folder and delete all of the aliases in there.

Now, run AppleWorks and see how much faster things are...

smiles,
Jamie
