A few days ago I downloaded System 4.1/Finder 5.5 from Delphi and installed
onto my Dataframe 20.  Things which I immediatly noticed was the mouse
tracking on "fast" seemed faster than that on System 4.0 but aside from that
it appeared that the changes were transparent.

A day later I tried to use QUED and found that it bombed with ID=02.
Although I usually do not use MacTerminal 2.0, from time to time I am forced
to use it because I need to send vt100 keypad codes [when I upgraded to a
Mac Plus I didn't bother buying the Mac Plus keyboard and junking my old
keyboard].  Imagine my surprise when I found that System 4.1 breaks
MacTerminal!

This is what happened:  The keyboard is completely jumbled.  When using
keycaps I see strange results - the entire keyboard is filled with the
"undefined character" boxes or in some case filled with a same character -
like the "registered trademark" symbol.  Upon exiting MacTerminal the
problems still persists - I have bound cmd-R to restart in the finder and
when I hit it, it got mapped to cmd-I and a "get info" box came up...
Rebooting clears up the problem [the menu's still work].

An "get info" on my system file shows the last modification date to be about
the same time when I launched MacTerminal, but other applications have not
broken so for now I'm assuming that MacTerminal hasn't corrupted my system
file...

Anyone have any ideas on what's going on here?
