I am running pcgeos/working model on a 486/33 with 8 megs ram, 80meg HD, 
SVGA monitor, etc etc. System resources are quite adequate, I believe.

I recently downloaded from wuarchive.wustl.edu all of the gwfont0##.ZIP 
files full of fonts. I then UNZIPPED them into the appropriate directory 
(/fonts or whatever)

Anyway. After playing around with them for a while, the system hung. Dead as 
a doornail. First time geos has done that sort of thing to me. 

However, I seem to recall that there was a solution for this, (I have been 
following this group for a while)... something to do with handles..?

Can someone PLEASE tell me what I should do to make geos happy again???

Thanks! I appreciate any help I can get.
