	OK.  I'm getting swamped with mail about "How do I patch MPW"
so I guess I'll post the answer.

	**** The following is neither supported or recommended by the
MPW group, the A/UX group, Apple Computer, myself or anybody else that
I know of, it just seems to work for me *****

	1.  While running A/UX, launch MPW
	2.  When it appears to be hung, break into the debugger.  If the
	pc is pointing at a "bra.s *" instruction your in luck, go to the
	next step.  If not, continue and break into the debugger again,
	repeat until you find the "bra.s *".
	3.  Examine the instructions around the bra.s instruction.  You
	are going to use resedit to change the bra.s, so remember them
	well.
	4.  Type "pc=pc+2" to skip over the bra.s instruction.
	5.  Use resedit to change the "bra.s *" instruction to a "nop".
