We just started using Sys 7 on our lab IIci's. (8meg memory) PP ST (r4) seems
to be just fine, except I have noted one irratating bug. In 32bit addressing
mode, PP ST sets some global color variable on the MAC. ST windows default to a
sort of grey color. After loading PP ST, ALL Mac application windows come up
with in grey color - even after PP ST is quit (this is what makes me think that
PP ST is setting some global variable). 

Turning on VM on the MAC causes no problems that I have seen yet. 32bit
addressing mode is clearly the factor. This is not a biggy. But I wondered if
others had experienced any difficulties with 32bit addressing mode.
