Over the past 2 days I've had lots of problems - *really* nasty Folders
from Hell etc. - which I think are somehow related to opening several files
with Word from the Finder at once. The symptoms and circumstances are quite
confusing, so I won't attempt to describe them in detail. Worse, it may
have been caused by a WDEF virus which I caught during the 2 hours or so
when I had no protection running (Murphy's Law). Still, I wonder: has
anyone had problems after opening multiple files (5 or so) in Word 4.00A
under System 7?

About the same time I saw another strangeness: after running Eudora (Steve
Dorner's mail client) in the Comm. Toolbox mode, the dialogs etc. were
being shown/refreshed in a slow-motion mode - as if they were fed to the
screen at 1200 baud... Moreover, Chicago changed to a weird version, with
slashed zeroes! Can anyone shed some light on this?
