Mick, we bought it a couple of years ago to do what you have in mind,
because we had a lot of older, non-gui pc's, then microsoft released win 3.0
and we got a grant to replace all the old stuff so it sat on the shelf. It
is interesting, the language is pascal-like and in fact brightbill roberts
has now made it shareware. If i remember it is pcsig disk2881 and 2882?
i don't think the disks above 2804 are on the net, although you might want
to check the usual pc-sig sites or search archie; else contact pc-sig and
order the 2 disks to test it out....there was also a third-party book 
called the HyperPad Companion....
