Congratulations baronobeefdip.
You succeeded in getting Puppy to run.
Hopefully you now stick with it and set it up the way you want it to.
All the items in your last post need to be fixed by you. They are already answered somewhere on the various Puppy forums. Use this search

to find your answers.
Your post is too unspecific to give you good answers, but a logical selection of terms in the above search engine will lead you to answers yourself.
Just these hints: If you want any application to run at start up, you must set a link in /root/Startup.
You could use OpenOffice as a sfs instead of Abiword. OO is available for Puppy here

Any other applicaton you need, use the search above. On a frugal install you can utilize pets or sfs for additional applications.
