I am a frequent user of MathType (v.2.11).  But I typically only use 
it to generate TeX code.  Anyway I have been using it along with 
sys. 7 for a couple of weeks with no problems.  It behaves as it did
with sys. 6.0.5 for me.

What is *REALLY* irksome is that Apple does not have a sys. 7 
compatable version of its own MPW (at least availible to common
folk) until later this month.  What is the explanation for this.
