I ran WordPerfect/ST on a 512K 520ST for about one year. I can
assure you that such a setup..(no hard drive by the way) will
work with documents at least 30 pages in length. (double spaced)
Did it all the time...with no problems.  I suspect that if someone
was getting only ten pages on a 512K system then s/he had a lot
of desk acc.s eating up RAM.
Don't get me wrong...WP/ST *is* a memory hog.  Using it on a 512K
system is not very fun.  The spell checker will work at a crawl..
if it will run at all...and having multiple documents open at once
is next to impossible.  It does work though..and it's not as
limited as past messages would have you believe.  I managed many
term papers on a 512K machine.  But I was sure to upgrade to a
1040 when it came time to do my thesis. :)
