I have a couple of questions that I hope aren't too inane:

1)  Is 1ST WORD free or not?  I know it's currently shipped with the 520ST, but
    can just anyone make themselves a copy of it?  I've seen a place *selling*
    the word processor for (I believe) $34.95.  What gives?

2)  What is the size of the memory area set aside for ACCessories?  Or is there
    a numerical limit on the number of accessories you can have at one time:
    i.e., you can only have 6 desk accessories?  A friend, who has TOS in ROM,
    gets 380-odd K memory when he runs FREERAM with a PD CALCULATOR, CALENDAR,
    PALETTE CHANGE, CONTROL PANEL, and INSTALL PRINTER as accessories.  Is 
    *that* much memory required for the accessories?  And, is there any way to
    remove the INSTALL PRINTER to make room for another accessory?  I got rid
    of his VT52 emulator (he has FLASH!), but I couldn't find any ACC file for
    INSTALL PRINTER.



Thanks for any help.
