I solved this problem.  Both TR and Mombasa do their graphics in some really
strange way (so much for following guidelines...) and absolutely HATE
MacroMaker.  If you can get them to run with it (this works for me after the
1st crash and an exittoshell), they don't add macromaker to the menu and
change it's menu icon to an 'M' in other programs.  Get INIT and define
your minimum to be everything but MacroMaker, and boot with tab held down.
THEN they work.

It seems to me you'd have to do something REALLY strange (like not calling
DrawMenuBar() to draw the menu bar) to have this problem...Get with it, guys!
Write COMPATABLE code!  It's not that difficult; just look at all of the
quality stuff that DOES work with MacroMaker...
