I have one machine, Mac II - 5meg memory, with a problem with Excel.
If running under multifinder, the application will quit with a "Application
quit unexpectedly (3)" when I try to access any meny item.  If I restart
under the finder only, the system crash's with the bomb and error (10).
If I don't use the menus, using the command keys instead, everything
works fine.

I am running system 6.03 and Excel 2.2a.  No other application causes this
problem.  If I try the same copy on another machine, with the same setup,
it works fine.  I tried reloading from the original floppies - no go.
I re-built the desktop, zapped the pram, installed a fresh copy of the 
system, got rid of all inits and cdevs etc, but no-go.  I talked to
my local apple reps but they didn't have any suggestions.  Only to talk
to Microsoft,  that got me nothing either.
