If your Appleworks 2.0 is the typical multi-patched version (e.g. bug
fixes, Time Out, etc.) you might try the following ...
Do a CATALOG to find the length of your APPLEWORKS.SYS file.
BLOAD APPLEWORKS.SYS at $1000 and go to the monitor.
Look for A2 02 1D (for example \A2 02 1D\<1000.4FFFP).
I found it at around $24F4.
Change the 1D to 1B and exit the monitor.
BSAVE APPLEWORKS.SYS, TSYS, A$1000, L <the length in decimal of the file>
What the mod does is to change the toolbox call starting at $24F4
(or wherever) from a check for Total Memory to a check for Available
Memory.
