I recently got the Aztec C68K-c compiler for my Mac and installed it on my
hyperdrive.  After installing the Manx console driver in my system file, I
was able to open the SHELL but the mouse would freeze.  The folks at Manx
gave me afour-line routine to patch the resource fork of the SHELL to
thaw out the mouse.  Although this patch works on their Hyperdrive (we both
have ROM versions 410), it does not work on mine.  It is certainly possible
I did something wrong.  If I knew how to use ResEdit I could verify the
patch.  I have an early version of ResEdit but no documentation.  Where can
I get the real thing?

Another quirk happens when exiting the SHELL back to the Finder.  Manx gives
a one liner in their release documentation of the proper way to envoke the
Finder.  It involves changing a field in low memory which defines the 
command processor program.  When entering the SHELL this field is changed
to return back to the SHELL after executing a program.  To return to the
Finder, this field must be changed back to indicate the Finder as the command
processor now.  This exit works except that the drawer containing the SHELL
sits in the startup drawer position on the desk top even though there are no
system files whatsoever in it.  My Startup drawer, containing all system
related files, is put at the next lower position.  The Finder and all
applications seem to work fine, it's just that the drawers are not in their
correct positions.  Does this happen to anyone else?  Even more baffling is
that executing an application on the Startup drawer, such as the Manager, and
then quiting back to the Finder does not straighten out the drawer positions.
This situation is not impossible to live with but I'm afraid I'm one of
se "e "a place for everything and everthing in it's place" people.  Got
any ideas?
