Apple AppleWorks 5 : Windows 95/NT 4.0 - Manual (Page 241)

Chapter 10: Communications
This chapter explains how to use AppleWorks and the HyperTerminal
application to establish communication between your computer and another
computer. All communications features are described in the onscreen Help
system of the HyperTerminal application.
When to use a communications document
Create a communications document when you want to exchange information
with another computer. Use an AppleWorks communications document to:
1
connect to a text-based commercial online service such as CompuServe
1
connect to a computer you can access at your business or school
1
connect to a public or private bulletin board service (BBS)
1
transfer files directly from one computer to another
Communications basics
The AppleWorks communications environment uses HyperTerminal to
connect your computer to online services, bulletin boards, and other
computers, and to send, receive, and save information.
What you need
Before you use the communications application environment, be sure that
you have the equipment and software you need. See the documentation that
came with your computer for information about HyperTerminal and its
requirements.
If you plan to connect to a commercial online service, you also need to register
for an account. Most popular services let you sign up when you first connect.
If you plan to connect to a computer at your business or school, check with
your site administrator for requirements.
