A further clue on the desktop freezing when trying to launch a new program.
It happens with good repeatability after exiting from Smartcom, which is
on a 3.5" drive plugged into the smartport.  I believe it's happened at 
other times also, but maybe this will be a clue to someone.  I didn't
have the problem until GS/OS.  Smartcom also won't run as a folder on my
hard disk, even though the original disk can be freely copied onto other
3.5" disks.  I don't know why.

Finally, I've noticed that some programs which tended to crash in the past
(the freeware Othello and Towers of Hanoi games for example, now seem to 
run fine with the new software.  I find this interesting.  I don't know what
bug fixes or whatever cleared this up.  Also, the Apple demo program that
was a French Mastermind game now runs again.  It did not run properly under
some versions of the System Software.
