 After deliberately waiting a long time, I finally upgraded from System 5.0
to System 6.0(.2) But now I finally did it. BUT>>>

 Everything seemed to work fine. Nice the new Disk Copy window, nice to be
asked soo many questions before formatting a disk ;) Nice to have programs
working now, that didnUt work with the older System. I might want Nisus one
day :)   BUT>>>>

 Okay, not nice to have programs that DID run on 5.0 but wonUt now. Hmm maybe
itUs a bit presumptious (is that the right spelling?) to claim the plural, 
but I have a terribly nice program which I love a lot that WON'T run. Oh
well it does run. But not as much as I would like it to do.
 
 I'm talking about the Switcher. I happen to prefer it to the MultiFinder.
When I startup the Switcher everything looks fine, when I start an Application
from within it, everything looks fine. When I try to select the Menu bar
from within that application, I get a CRASH ID=03.
 I tried putting the old MDEF into the System, didn't help. I tried enlarging
the System Heap, didn't make any difference. Couldn't think of anything
else to do.
 Can anyone (Some bright person @Apple maybe?) tell me what goes wrong? I
really would like to be able to work with the Switcher. What BTW is the
difference between the old and the new MDEF? Only a few bytes differed as
far as I could see. Or has MDEF got nothing to do with it at all? (I'm not
(yet) a programmer you know?)

 If someone knows anything I might try to solve this one (except for the
obvious 'try your old system again') please mail your response directly
to me. BTW, if nothing works, can I have more than one System on my HD?
