Um, this may not be the cause of your problem, but why are you running 6.0.4?
I thought it was exclusively for the Portable and the IIci.

Also, yes, I absolutely love Boomerang.  I find that, even with the CODE on the
heap, it still slows down the dialogs somewhat.  To such an extent, in fact,
that I have trouble with Quick B Download, which times out while waiting for
its SF dialog to come up.  Also, because Boomerang has trouble excluding DA's
that aren't installed globally, I had to install Quick B (which usually only
resides in Microphone) in the System, exclude it, then remove it again.  This
did work, though.
