 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 The Apple IIe Enhancement improves the performance of the Apple IIe by
 replacing four chips on the main circuit board.

 The Enhancement has four major benefits:

  1. Apple IIc compatiblity:

       Users can take advantage of software developed for the Apple IIc.

  2. Product line consistency:

       Apple II software can be used on both the Apple IIe and IIc.

  3. The MouseText character set makes it easy for developers to create
     software that uses pull-down menus, windows, and icons.

  4. Easier programming for users:

       a. Accepts BASIC commands in both upper- and lowercase
       b. Additional instructions in the 65C02
       c. Mini-assembler for machine language programs.

 The Apple IIe Enhancement Kit, Order A2M2052, is available from Apple
 Authorized Dealers for users who wish to upgrade their systems.
