My sincerest apologies if this has been covered before, but if it was,
I didn't see it.  I just got my MacII :-) :-) :-), and have finder v5.5
on it.  The problem I am having is setting the startup application on
a floppy.  It don't work!  If I try to "set startup" to anything other
than the finder (the minifinder won't even work), then when I try and
boot from that disc, it smiles, then spits it out.  My version of
hypercard works fine (it boots up and starts hypercard), and if I
copy it's system folder to another disc, that disc will boot hypercard.
If I try to "set startup" to hypercard myself, thought, it doesn't do
it!  Is my Mac braindamaged?  Am I?  Is my Finder/System?  

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
