The two ideas I have heard for avoiding crashes with this version
are:

1) Allways run in Multifinder (I don't know why).
2) Increase the size of the application RAM for ResEdit by afew
hundred K (using the Get Info box - the RAM requirement field in
the lower right corner).

This seems to eliminate most crashes.
