Help!

I just installed System 7 yesterday (with a number of tribulations that
I won't go into here), and today I am working at customizing things and
getting all the peripherals to work.  One of these is the modem using
NetSerial.  Like a fool I just went ahead and dropped the NetSerial
chooser document and the NSPrefs cdev into the System folder and let
System 7 put them where it thought they should go.  Calling up the
Control Panel NSPrefs went fine until I tried to change an option there
and close the panel, at which point I got an error modal saying that
the proper resource was not available or some such.  No biggie, thought
I.  I'll just put things one level up (like in Sys 6.0.x) like I have 
seen recommended numerous times here on the net, and everything should
then get found fine......WRONG!  Trying to move the NetSerial Chooser
Extension from the Extensions folder to ANYWHERE (System folder, DeskTop,
other folders, trash, etc.) causes the entire Mac to go into stasis 
and never return, i.e., a thinking watch whose hands do not revolve.
I have left the machine in this state for over an hour, so I don't think
it's just being slow.

Any ideas?
