I remember using a word processor on the II+ I had in

had the shift mod, but no lower case ROM. The software indicated upper
case characters by showing that character in inverse video.Quite clunky,
but it worked fine; I was quite happy with the results by the time they
made their way out of the printer. It's surprising that it worked as
well as it did I guess. Having said that, I was very pleased to upgrade
to a IIe.
I remember that. Was it AppleWriter? I had an Exidy Sorcerer at the
time, with the Word Processor Pac, and that had proper lower case, so I
never much bothered with the Apple for WP. I still have my copy of
Visicalc, though!
