This message is for Leonard Rosenthol; sorry for the inconvenience, but my
mailer doesn't know how to get to him.

------------------------

Hi Leonard,

	Here's some more information on my system crash with
MicroPhone/SuperPaint.  I'm running version 1.1 of SuperPaint, and 2.0 (date:
June 27, 1988) of MicroPhone II, with version 6.0 of System Software (Finder
6.1, System 6.0), on a Mac SE with 2.5 MB of RAM and internal 20MB hard disk,
Apple extended keyboard.  All programs are using their default partitions.

	This is the contents of my System file:

		Backgrounder
		Clipboard File
		DAJHandler
		Easy Access
		Finder
		Finder Startup
		General
		ImageWriter
		Key Layout
		Keyboard
		Mouse
		MultiFinder
		Note Pad File
		Scrapbook File
		Sound
		Startup Device
		System
		Word Settings

	As I said, whenever I initiate a script (that puts up a dialog, with
the "Dialog Install" command) in MicroPhone with SuperPaint loaded, MP "quits
unexpectedly" with a reason code of (2).  It doesn't matter in what order I
load the two programs, and this is reproducible at will.

	Further, if I then quit SuperPaint, and restart MicroPhone, the same
behavior occurs (now WITHOUT SuperPaint loaded), leading me to believe that
SuperPaint may be patching some system global "stuff" that is only reset by a
reboot.  I hope you can shed some light on this; it's really bizarre.  

Thanks for the help,

Rich

p.s.  I like MicroPhone II a LOT!  Nice job...
