Do a control-click (IIRC) and it will allow you to see the contents of
the AppleWorks package, and you can pull out and trash the OS version of
AW that you don't want (DISCLAIMER: Try at your own risk here). At least,
under MacOS 9.2.2, you can control-click to see the "AppleWorks.app" as a
package and open it to look at the contents. In the Contents folder,
inside the AppleWorks.app package, you should find folders - among others
- named "MacOS" (which contains the OS X stuff) and MacOS Classic
(containing the OS 9.x stuff). I wouldn't mess with the files ending in
".plist" or the other folders such as Resources, etc.
That may be a starting point (and remember to backup your AWorks files before you try this).

Thanks for the explanation, Thad. I think I understand it :) and I love learning about all things Apple. And thanks, Jim, for the suggestion, but that sounds a little too advanced for this newbie. But I'm learning from all the posts. Thanks again to everyone who contributes to this discussion group!

Cool. I'm not exactly a newbie, but am technically disinclined, myself. I did get the Classic version to fire up in 10.1.5 using the navigation Jim described; and suddenly, I'm less impressed with "Carbon." :) I'm still glad someone else carefully configured the package to link shared resources for me and Lauren. On the other hand, I can imagine how someone with the old and new operating systems on separate partitions (no Classic mode) would insist on two independent applications with no redundant files.
