I just got my hands on the Rolodex Accessory (I know, I'm slow :) but I
noticed some highly unreliable behaviour when used in combination with
an application like MS-Word. The system would bomb, sending my text
into irretrievable hyperspace.

Remembering earlier messages here about the $02B6 phenomena (the global
pointer that was 'reserved' and now in use by system 4.1, I scanned the
entire file for that hex-value. It was full of it.So I took the gamble
of changing them all into the safer $0A78 and it works much better now.
No strange bombs or something similarly disastrous.

This is a tip to any1 who really likes this accessory (like I do) and wants
to use it under 4.1/5.5.
