Excel 2.2 will reliably bomb when I click on the "File" or "Edit" menu.
This is when using finder.  Under multi-finder I get a "Application
unexpectedly quit" message.  Excel 1.5 works fine, as does everything else.

The system is a MacPlus, 4 MB, CMS 46 MB hard drive, System 6.03.  I
removed everything I thought was suspicious from the system folder (completely
removed from the disk, not just dragged to the desktop), which means all
inits that I know of, and all strange CDEVs.  I checked for viruses with
a few different anti-virus programs.  I reloaded the system from original
diskette.  I have a number of desk accessories, but none were used before
the bomb.

Please reply directly to me with suggestions.  Thanks.
