	I have recently purchased the game Lode Runner and found that it only
	partially works on a MAC II/IIx. The game works fine on a Plus or SE.
	The problem seems to be when you use the mouse for movement instead of
	the keyboard. At that point the game quits with the message that Lode
	runner has quit unexpectedly. If you try and use the editor for the 
	game which is mouse driven also the same error occurs. The error occurs 
	when the mouse button is hit. I have tried it under finder and 
	multifinder and several versions of the system with no success.
	
	Does anybody out there know why this fails on the MACII and not the
	Plus or the SE. Is there a way to get this to work? (specific
	system, patch, etc). The people at Broderbund who make the game said
	it does not work on a MAC II and as it was written in 1984 it will 
	probably not be fixed. They seemed to think it would not work at all
	but the game part (not the editor) works with keyboard input. Any ideas?
