Here's what I'm thinking, Harry.
I took a look and didn't find anything about how to launch the word processing component from Works with a command line, or without first opening Works. So here's what I'd do to fake it out.
Create a Works Word document and save it to your desktop. Close the file. Right-click it on your desktop and hit Properties. Make the file Read-only.
Then, whenever you want to create a doc, just double-click the icon on your desktop. If you try to save it over top of itself (which you don't want to do or you'll have to recreate your shortcut again), then it'll tell you it's read-only.
Whatcha think? Let me know if it works/doesn't work.
