Regarding this problem, I'd like to thank all who have Emailed or posted
suggestions.  They're much appreciated.

My problem appears to have been that my files were too big!  Previously,
I had enough memory available on my 1 meg Mac Plus to handle it, but the
addition of Norton Utilities was enough to push it over the edge.

Breaking up the files seems to have done the trick.  Fun solution, eh?

As to why I haven't upgraded to the latest version of Excel, it's 
because 1.5 was quite enough for me in terms of features.  I did
know about the memory problems and Multifinder, but since I was on
a 1 meg Mac and didn't use Multifinder, I thought I shouldn't have to
spend $100 to get something that I didn't need.

This was, of course, before INIT mania hit the Mac world... :-)

Thanks again for all the input!
