I posted a note to this conf a couple of weeks back regarding a strange
error that I saw when QUITing out of some applications;

     Not enough room on the disk to save the contents of the clipboard.

Or something very similar to that.  This was happening on a 5 meg Mac II (color)
, 300 meg internal hard drive (w/about 130 meg of unfragmented free space),
running System 6.0.2 (also seen on 6.0 and 6.0.1).  I did not mention that 
I do _not_ use MultiFinder, i.e. using only the Finder.

I received two E-mail responses (thank you guys very much) which both suggested
that the problem may occur if I ran out of ram.  This could most likely happen
(according to the responses) when under MF.  (I failed to mention in the 
original posting that I use Finder only.)

Anyway, still not sure why the error is occurring.  I guess it _could_ be 
that the Mac is running short on memory, but.....

Thanks again, guys.
