Hi all!

   I have seen a similar behavior in MacWrite 4.5.  I have been using
MacNifty's Beep INIT (posted with Randomizer - check is in the mail Jon).
When I open a TEXT file and after I've stated if the linebreaks are 
paragraphs or what not, if the sound is off, the screen goes into this
wild reverse video dance macabre.  If the sound is one, the little
Beepsound works great.

   Perhaps this provides someone with a trace to the problem.  Easy remedy;
leave the sound on (Bad if you are laying MacLanding on company time 8-)).
