Bug:	MacWrite hangs when trying to initialize a disk for saving current
	file.

Repeat-by: Use save as... then eject current disk and insert an
	uninitialized disk. Click Initialize in the next dialog box.
	And you'll stare at the message "Initializing Disk" forever.
	There's not even a whir of disk motion. 

I tried an interrupt (left hand side "programmers button") but a serious system
error ensued. Luckily the file was already saved on another disk. 
Caveat,
len
