Does this happen right after you boot, *before* running TML Pascal II or
any programs written under TML?

If it does, then try reinstalling 5.0.  (Actually, go for 5.0.2 if you can,
although I don't know of any changed between 5.0 and 5.0.2 that would cause
your particular problem.)

If it happens only after running TML or some program written in TML, then
it sounds like the in-RAM copy of the Control Manager is getting stomped on
by accident.  (In this case, definitely try using 5.0.2 instead, since there
are significant fixed to Text Edit, which TML II uses.)
