  These problems are due to the fact that we changed QuickDraw in System 7 to
do all those cool true-gray text you see in disabled menus, buttons, and inactive
windows.  The version of QuickDraw that is uploaded/downloaded/whatever to the
GC card doesn't recognise these new features so you probably just get blank
items.  Basically, the 8.24GC INIT needs to be revved for use with System 7.  I
don't know if this has happened, or if it's being worked on...
