Dear Kimberly,
        I have a PowerBook 170 8/80 running System 7.5 with no third-party
extensions except The Big Apple (a hierarchical Apple menu utility). Today
I had one library window open in EndNote Plus 2.0, and with the edit window
of a style open in the background, I executed a "find" searching for a
space in any field and NOT those records with something in the edition
field ("=" followed by nothing)-- I was obviously looking for those records
with nothing in the edition field. My computer froze, and typing
command-option-escape brought up a dialog box asking me whether I wanted toquit
the Finder! Hitting command-option-escape again crashed my system with
"Sorry, there is a system error" (with no error code). Unfortunately, I
didn't have MacsBug installed at the time. After rebooting, I could not get
the crash to repeat.
        Could this be a bug in EndNote Plus? This is the first time that
EndNote Plus has caused a crash on my Macintosh. Unlike most other users,
I've actually experienced several bad crashes with System 7.5. I've learned
that although System 7.5 is very stable, it is less forgiving of certain
programming practices than previous versions of System 7; one bug in the
communications program SITComm, for example, has surfaced because of System
7.5.
        Yours truly,
        Marc
