	Found a bug (actually 2-in-1 bug) in your program.  To activate
bug, do the following:

1) Shift boot to Finder (so you won't say inits/DAs crash the program)
2) Launch Mandelbrot.II.
3) Press <Space Bar> to skip title page.
4) Press <Space Bar> again to display mandelbrot fractal level 1.
5) Press <Right Arrow> continuously --- don't stop!
   This is supposed to change the colour scheme but it crashes after
   about 14 times.
6) <Left Arrow> works too --- Pressing it continuously crashes after
   about 20 times.
7) If you don't hear the familiar "parng" of the GS bell, try moving the
   mouse or pressing <ESC> to get to the help screen.  You'll find that
   the GS has hung.
   GSBug if installed will trap the break but not the hanging.

	Another if-you-can-call-it bug is:

8) Also, I found that if I run Mandelbrot.II and quit without crashing
   the program, my Sound CDev gets deactivated.  All GS/OS events become
   silent.  Opening the Sound CDev shows "Not Assigned" for all the
   GS/OS events.

: last version. (Wondering why some Apple II users likes to behave that way.)

	Don't bother about them.  There are always these sort of people
around.  If it helps, think of the inverse of these people, those who
encourage you and say "Hey, that's good!  Keep it up!"
