  For those of you out there who thought that MDS Edit (or just Edit) would
never break, (I know you're out there; I used to be of that opinion myself)
I must tell you something that's on the level of learning that there is
no Santa Claus. (Sorry if I spoiled this, too...)  Edit DOES break under
certain conditions, namely, if you have more than 31 fonts.  If you have more
than 31 fonts in your system and you try to use Edit, it'll hang and hang
and hang.  Believe me.  I just spend the last half hour mixing and matching
INITs trying to figure out which one was causing the crash.  Then I realized
that I installed about ten more fonts the other day, and hadn't run Edit since.
  Obviously, Edit's doing something funky with the enableFlags field of the
menu resource.  Now the question is, does anyone know how to patch it?
