	You are 100% better off than I am.  I tried to update my system
(4.1) file on my SE with the provided Installer and script.  The final
result was a system that was broken in the interesting way of not recog-
nizing the SHIFT key!  I couldn't shift-click, or type capitals (SHIFT
LOCK didn't work either).  I also had some interesting bombs.

	I finally just put all my System-file fonts and DAs (not many
because of Suitcase) onto a floppy and copied the System 4.2 file directly.
Now things work normally, but I have a few compatability questions, each
with two parts ((a) under Finder, (b) under Multifinder):
	I couldn't seem to get the Popkeys INIT from FKEY manager 3.0 to
work.  Is it broken?
	I see several reasons why SuperSpool might not work under Multifinder,
but I couldn't get it to work under (uni)Finder either.  Since the new built-
in spooler only runs for Laserwriters, I face the frustration of not being
able to spool prints after growing used to doing so.  Will the built-in stuff
spool to an appletalk imagewriter?  If so, what is required to make an image-
writer work as an appletalk device?

	What else seems to be broken?
