Also re: move from DOS to WIMP.
My experience training & installing in offices was too many people needed reading glasses and refused to use them. Too many bosses would not buy a big enough screen at least 1024 x 768.
WIMP is ghastly on a small screen (12" to 14" CRT) and at 640 x 480.

Also most WiMP wordprocessors and text editors can be used entirely without mouse.
I remember useless training courses for WP for DOS and Word for Windows (and other products) that seemed to have been written by Marketing (Crayon Dept) too much concentrating on all the menus/features and not how to do the job and best way to use the package.
