question about mac24 environment under a/ux 2.0

[Laurie Zirkle]

I received this from one of my users today.  Since I don't do much
Mac/OS support (I'm strictly unix), I'm not sure where to begin or what
is causing this problem.  Has anyone else had problems similar to this?

*********************

The mac24 environment on my machine has been totally unreliable today.  It
started by not allowing me to paste a figure from SuperPaint in a Textures
document, an operation I was doing successfully last week.  The machine either
closed Textures or just hung without responding to keyboard or mouse (sometimes
the cursor would move, sometimes it wouldn;t't).  There was one time early
today when I got a System Error box, but it seemed to recover from that.  The
last time I went to mac24, the Finder hung after I clicked the close box on a
directory window.  Every time the machine hangs, I have powered down and
rebooted.

In summary, I think something I did today corrupted some piece of software
somewhere, but I don't have any idea what.  Any ideas?

Maybe, one of these days (years), all unixes will be the same.  I guess
I shouldn't hold my breath, because I'd be out of a job.
