	More on the continuing saga of weird behavior under Multifinder on
a 1Meg Plus:
	When you last heard from me I claimed that the default partition given
to PrintMonitor (78K for mine, though some claim it should be 80K) was
to small. So I increased it to 120. Don't seem to be having problems with it
now...
	However when I was printing, I tried to launch Cricket Draw 1.1, and
probably there wasn't enough memory avaiable for it, so it immediately quit
(note that I didn't get the dialog from MF telling me this...).
What happened though, was that the finder quit too. So here I was running 
PrintMonitor only, with the MF icon in the upper right, and no "Finder" in
the Desk accessory menu, or anywhere! Wow! I always wanted to be able to
run applications without the finder, and there I was. I still could get
to my DA's and they ran under the DA Handler, which upon quiting gave me
back PrintMonitor. I finally hit the debug button and got the finder
back by SM 0 A9F4, G 0. But the system was in an unstable state...As
was my heart.
	Anybody else seen something like this? Perhaps my mac has 
the flu or some other virus!
