Hi Richard,
Thanks for your comments.
I don't even know what the Profile Manager is. The stack with which
I've had problems was created in Rev from scratch, though many of the
elements used were originally resources created with ResEdit from a
variety of sources. A lot of copy and pasting from other Mac apps with
the scripts written in transcript. The converted HC stacks haven't
appeared to have any particular problems such as this.
