Hmmn.  This didn't seem to fix it.  Using the sam from netlib,
the behaviour is the same no matter what the setting in
the Compatability tab.  Using the one form the Plan 9 updates
page, it behave the same except that if I set the compatibility
mode to "Windows 95" it gives some error about not being able
to initialize.  I'll try to get a hold of the exact message
next week.  But when the setting is not "Windows 95", it starts
up and will allow me to use the mouse for a little while (I
can open the menu a couple of times or create and place a new
window).  But after that, or immediately if I try to use the
keyboard, the program stops responding at all.

Thanks for your help,

Micah
