@lmorchard@masto.hackers.town Hmm. I like how you think, but I feel like AppleWorks on an Apple II would be one step too far for convenient use on a modern computer. Now, something like MicroGoldEd on the Amiga might be quite viable, since you can mount a host system's folder as a disk under FS-UAE, so you could actually use that to edit text files on the fly. For the AppleWorks version you'd have to move them back and forth to/from the Apple II emulator using ciderpress or, if you wanted to use actual hardware, you'd need to use ciderpress to manage a disk mounted to the Apple II over ADT. Doable, but lacking in spontenaiety. I wonder if there's any magic one could do with the command-line switches available to FS-UAE and a special startup sequence launched from within the Amiga side that would let you associated the whole thing as a default text editor from the host system, though, so that if you double-clicked a .txt file, it would just launch the emulator, Amiga OS, and the text editor with your file loaded.
