With v2.65 of spectre, pressing the HELP KEY while in mac mode
gives you access to a configuration menu--UNLESS YOU ARE IN
832K MODE.  This is great if you're ST has more than 1meg.  It
would not be all that terrible if you only have 1meg EXCEPT---
It seems that hitting the HELP KEY in the 832K mode
irreversibly freezes the machine!  You have to go through
rebooting your ST and then spectre.  You can't even use
shift-undo to restart mac mode.
Dave...if you are out there...can anything be done to take
care of this?  It can be rough, just missing the backspace
key...
