The correct file type is $B3 (S16) with auxiliary type $DB07 (desktop
application).

I suspect the problem is that you managed to get a few extra bytes on
the end of the file at some point - probably when downloading to the
Mac.  An S16 file must have _exactly_ the correct length, or the IIgs
System Loader will reject it (it thinks there is an invalid segment
header at the end of the file).

My IIgs is out of range at present, so I can't look up the correct
length.  Perhaps someone else could post a message stating the correct
length of GSHK11.SEA.
