I use 4.1/5.5 on the SE and 4.0/5.4 on a 512Ke+SCSI+2meg. 4.0 does NOT exhibit the problem with the low-memory global 02b6. When I tried to use 4.1/5.5 on the 512Ke, MacTerminal stopped recognizing the L and 5 keys. I suspect that support for the ADB keyboards is the root of this problem. I agree that people should be using 4.1/5.5 for compatibility's sake. I use 4.0/5.4 for sanity's sake. It really seems much stabler. -Eric Eric K. Olson olson@endor.harvard.edu harvard!endor!olson
