This is caused by a bug in the system, which we didn't find until the
very last second, and didn't fix. In a nutshell, don't unmount from desk
accessories. Sorry.

I haven't heard about this one, so I'll keep my trap shut.

There must be many folks using Disktop on System 7. Even with the
great Finder improvements, Disktop still has a role to play. I admit to a
dangerously high dependence on Disktop for over 4 years now.

With Disktop 4.0.1 on System 7 Golden (from FTP.APPLE.COM) I noticed
two catastrophic problems :

1. CMD-U (Unmount floppy) causes an instant system bomb

2. Using the keyboard commands (CMD-M, CMD-C) to move, copy from
hard disk to floppy (or vice-versa) also causes system hangs

Have others also experienced this ? Has CE commented ? Speaking of
CE Software ... they were once a great LITTLE company with nice products,
great service and lots of integrity. Now that they're a MEDIUM size company,
the level of service and responsiveness seems to be lagging just a tad.
