The MENU editor in 2.0b2 breaks on Macintosh IIs (the plain II model
only, I think; I don't believe it crashes on IIxs, IIcxs, etc.  Some
folks may correct me on this point).  I gathered from either a README
or a bug list somewhere that this was in fact a known bug, and that
Apple folks were working on fixing it (at least before version 7.0
comes out...;-).  In any case, you're not the only one to have seen
it: I've had the problem consistently.  What model machine are you
working on?
