Broderbund Animate/character save problem

[KP <kjpmail@gmail.com>]

Another question about Broderbund's "Animate".  I normally use an
original of this program with a live //e and IIgs, but I recently
tried using a copy from asimov on an emulator.  A problem I have is
manifesting in both the "original floppy" and "emulator image"
versions of use, but in slightly different ways:

When I go to the FILE menu and select SAVE and select CHARACTER and
type a file name, and then press OKAY, it fails to save.

Using the live floppy disk, it tells me that there is no character
found.

On the emulator, it just makes a loud beeping/grating noise that
continues until the emulator is reset.

Also, when using the emulator (but NOT when using the live floppy
version), I get a "Prodos Error: I/O Error" message whenever I try to
use the HELP ABOUT menu.  This occurs even when I put the correct disk
image for help text (Side A) in the drive.

Can anyone help me with these problems?  I would really love to get
this program working and figure out how to use it to do animation!
