It might be worth mentioning that if the user is getting this app up-and-running in order to get access to existing files, there are tools out there which can convert Leading Edge files into more modern formats. At least, that's what a Google search found: http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2015-March/003841.html https://sourceforge.net/p/transformenator/git/ci/master/tree/src/org/transfo... I would assume there's a good chance that the user isn't so much interested in using an ancient word processor for nostalgia, but rather to gain access to some old documents.

Now all I need to do is edit (autoexec.bat?) with a path line, if fuzzy college memory serves me correctly, in order for this to work right from c:\.
If dos is in C:\DOS:

It's amazing how much we forget about things we grew up using and hacking around on everyday!
Apparently lawyers were big on DOS era word processors (Word Perfect) because of forms they have where they fill in items and it populates them or something. The same thing exists of course in modern systems but change is hard and not always better.
