Andy,

	Since you didn't mention it, I really suggest you check for instances
	of virus "infection." I haven't heard of too many virus troubles lately,
	but you never know...

	Check around for the various "innoculations" and "vaccines" that
	are now on the market. I'm not sure what the best of them are,
	but your technician should know. The "Killvirus" init works fine for
	me.

	An easy way to check is to run ResEdit and check the system
	resource fork for "nvir" or other suspicious-looking resources.

	If you don't now how to check, there are also programs to do
	that for you. You shouldn't have to pay anything, because the
	best of them are freeware.

Joe.

p.s. I really hope this ISNT your problem.
