Freeguide is a standalone application designed to give the first time user (or
experienced user) a complete guide to Macintosh technology. This has been

programs for the Mac: MacRoots, Personal Ancestor File, and Reunion.

these, I can only vouch that a) they all work together for me on my IIcx
and portrait monitor; b) they all seem to work together on a small screen
SE with 4 meg of memory and c) almost all are almost free. Almost the
only other thing I have in memory besides these apps is Suitcase.
Several (marked with an *) do much the same thing. Take your pick.

Someone suggested the NOW utilities but since they're not shareware I
didn't check them out. Popover and ViewPaint both were recommended,
