Thanks to both Dan Allen and Tim Johnson for taking the time to respond
to my questions about large HC stacks, particularly "The Manhole", a
commercial game stack.  Both gentlemen felt that the problem was related
to one of two environmental issues:  the total amount of memory
available, and the revision of the O/S used.

I guess I should have mentioned that I was running the program on a
1 meg Mac Plus.  I WAS, and am, using System 6.0.2, however, so a
buggy O/S should not have been a cause of the problems.  However, I
suspect that memory usage is probably a culprit, as I have several INIT's
loaded.  I will try removing the INIT's and see if the problem goes
away or changes.  Thanks again!

-Bill
