> "Go to the end of the paragraph."

Can be done now. Press Solid-Apple > (SA-period, or option-period). This is
built into AppleWorks 4 and later. "Go to the end of the sentence" can easily
be added with a macro.

> Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit should be covered.

This could be done. Send me the exact conversion factors/formulas you want, and
I'll write it after January.

> TIMEOUT.TELECOMM

has been updated for AppleWorks4/ 5. I used it every day to call Compuserve
before I cancelled. It is not full-featured, however. I could probably work on
it further, but I thought I was the only person in the world using it. And,
there is nowhere to call with it except CompuServe e-mail. It doesn't do
VT-100, so you won't get very far on the web.

> just a 4K game that can be brought up in a TimeOut.

See Draw Poker, TO.Keno, TO.Lottery, TO.Mastermind, etc. Keno has auto-play,
plays "We're in the money" when you win, and is one of my all-time favorites.
Just what your students need, huh? Gambling and lottery games. ;-)

> A DHR artwork screen as an alternative to the TO.ScreenBlanker.

See AfterWork. It is excellent. Built in to AW 5, available as an add-on for
AppleWorks 4. Must have a clock, but can be invoked with one key-press instead.


> rotate the artwork

Yes, AfterWork does that.

> COMPATIBILITY WITH EARLIER TIMEOUT MODULES

Most have been updated. Which ones are you missing?

Nice to see some enthusiasm. Great list.
