Actually several programs which I have tried under 5.0.2 do not work. The
culprit appears to be(the programs of course) ProDOS8 ver1.9 . For example
Talking Reader Rabbit, Pipe Dream,...do not work.

Apart from the printer drivers, and the ability to run HCGS, what would be
wrong with staying with 5.0.2 ? Was there a problem with it?

It seems that every time the System changes, something else won't work. 
This is also true on the Mac. Tools are nice but there are limits! In
particular is there a patch to the programs I mentioned to allow them to
work under 5.0.3? Also, how does one get around programs which don't
return you to the Finder without rebooting?
