We didn't keep the box, but here's what the manual says (Learning Guide 1-5): 'To run FullWrite Professional you need a Macintosh Plus, a Macintosh SE, a Macintosh II, or a Macintosh 512K enhanced with a memory upgrade to at least one megabyte. In addition to the built-in 800K disk drive, you need a second disk drive with a capacity of at least 800K or a Macintosh- compatible hard disk'. To compare small things with great, there's something in WordPerfect that would come in usefully here--a command that lets the user set the folder in which temp files will be stored.
