I had a _really_ wierd problem just the other day ...

I installed an old init into the extensions folder and when I restarted, the
thing crashed, so I restarted and held down shift to stop all the extensions
from loading up and got the "All Extensions turned off" (or whatever) message
but when I tried using the menus in the finder, Nothing worked !

None of the Apple menu items were brought up, copy, paste etc didn't work.
So I removed the offending init and tried to restart from the Special menu but again, nothing happened - I selected it from the menu and the mac just sat there and looked back at me !  SO I had to use the restart button on the side.

Any thoughts ?  THis is my config:

	Mac SE 2/20
	System 7
	Extended keyboard (not that that's really important :))
	and a shift button :)

Dave.
