I was playing around last night with the FutureSound demo and it monkeyed up when I selected the About FutureSound option in the apple menu. I also noted that it said it was a beta release, which would explain things. I still have been noticing some flaky behavior with System 5.0 though (like the Icon Info selection hanging the system). Unfortunately, I haven't been documenting what was going on at the times that the system hangs. When I do, I'll post it and hopefully someone can help me diagnose the problems.
