From the Claris flyers:
- MacWrite 5.0
	o spell checker with > 100k word dictionary
	o you can create your own custom dictionaries
	o arrow keys supported
	o decimal tabs (?? don't remember if it's already there)
	o (more?) keyboard equivalents for functions
	o supports big screens
	o MultiFinder compatible
	o runs on II, SE, Plus, 512KE
- MacPaint 2.0
	o tear off menus (i.e., you can move the tool pallette and pattern
	  menu around)
	o auto scrolling
	o up to 9 documents open simultaneously
	o snapshot and "magic eraser" that restores any part of the
	  picture as it appeared in the last snapshot (I think)
	o supports big screens
	o MultiFinder compatible
	o runs on II, SE, Plus, 512KE, needs 2 disk drives

> Is it worth it to upgrade ?
$25 each to upgrade.  You decide.
