I have been using the Flex desk accessory on my MAC (I
like the way it works, and have talked several other people
at work into installing it).  However, there is a problem 
when running Tetris.

Specifically,  if Flex starts while Tetris is running, the elegant
background pictures that Tetris uses (MAC II Tetris) get shifted
to the upper left hand corner of the screen, covering the menu bar.
Not disasterous, but definitely annoying.

In addition, if Flex was was started while actually playing 
(as distinct from the control or scoring page), When you hit
the next key for any reason, the machine hangs.

This is on a MAC II, 4 Meg memory,  256 Color monitor, 40 Meg hard
disk.

I would have sent this by e-mail, but I lost the name and address
of the person who did such a good job producing Flex.
