There is a conflict with Sam 2.0.0, MS Mail, and a start-up screen.
Either
	1) Upgrade to SAM 2.0.2b
	2) Rename MS Mail and/or SAM so MS Mail INIT's before SAM
	3) delete the start-up screen
	4) Patch the WDEF on MS Mail so that the WDEF (#16) has the
	   system Heap check box on (Use Get Info and ResEdit)

Microsoft Mail also has a problkem with MacMainframe from Avatar.
	A rename of INIT's fixes this also.
Sam also reacts to MacPassword in a fashion similar to MS Mail.

Thanks to all, and esp. Paul "Mr. SAM" Cozza.
