  Forgive me if this has been gone through before.  I am a new Mac SE
owner.  I tried to run MacDraw on my machine; whenever I attempted to
access a menu, I got this window with a bomb icon on it, and the message
"System Error ID = 4".  I looked this up in the user's manual, and it
says basically, "fatal system error, these ID codes are kind of technical,
don't worry your little empty head about it and call your dealer."

  Does anyone have a list of these system error codes, and some description
of what they mean?  Please e-mail.  Thanx.

  John
