[DM-MUG] Appleworks abruptly quitting? HELP!!!

[Bailey Ford]

Hey Victoria,

If the program is working fine when you log in as another user, then  
the problem must be a file within your user folder. The first thing  
to try would be to trash the preference files that have to do with  
appleworks. Take a look in ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/ 
Application Support. The ~ thingy there is supposed to represent your  
home folder.

Let us know how it goes.
