Greetings,

  Well, I upgraded to HyperCard 1.2.5, and downloaded the entire TechNotes
stack (all the megabytes), intending to read the latter using the former...
However, I find that HyperCard 1.2.5 bombs if run on its update stack.  I
click one of the topics from the menu, click in the scroll arrow, and it
either "Unexpectedly quits (Out of Application memory)" (MultiFinder) or Bombs
(ID = 25: Out of Memory).  I turned off all my inits with InitCDEV, and the
problem went away, so rather than sitting around turning inits on and off, I
was hoping someone could tell me that there's a common init know to cause this
problem.

System:  Mac IIx, 5Mb RAM, LaCie 105Mb drive, running a slew of inits,
including but not necessarily limited to:  InitCDEV, SoundMaster, Vaccine,
Antitoxin, Color Arrow, ColorFinder, 32-bit QuickDraw, Suitcase, Window List,
Boomerang 2.0, SUM Shield, Randomizer, !Deskpict, On Cue, MasterStrokes,
IconWrap, Dimmer, Logout, PopKeys, RearWindow MF, Scroll Limit, SuperClock,
SuperVideo.  

Thanks for your help,
--Mike
