Answer 1) After it exits, try pressing left Amiga 'N' (or is it 'M')
to bring the workbench or cli back to the front, this works for me,
then you may re-execute the game.

Answer 2) Boy does it!!!  much better off the hard disk, just assign
'disk1' and 'disk2' to the roger rabbit directory, works great, but
if you have an extra 1.7 Megs of RAM ;) it works even better (faster)
out of RAM: or RAD:. I just set up an iconx icon/script to copy the
whole game out to RAM: and then execute it, and another icon/script to
merely re-execute it after it exits from the game. No problems so far,
except the damn pointer won't shut off, so I move it to the lower
right corner right after I click my re-execute icon.
