I recently installed Smalltalk/V PM and have found it to have some
strange behaviors.  Several of the dialogue boxes have garbage binary
text in them.  In fact, all of the boxes Yes/No/Cancel are like this so
I have to guess what the question is.  The system also periodically dies
(I'm running with a lot of memory - 12 Meg - but little free disk space -
like around 1 Meg) and I get a pop up from PM that a protection exception
has occurred.  I lose my image and sometimes have to reboot (soft).
Do I have a defective version of code?  It's identified as version 1.00. 

P.S. I wrote to Digitalk at their compuserve address and never heard from
them!  Do they provide good customer support?  I guess I'll have to call
their number.
