I downloaded Sigmaedit from GEnie the other day, and while I was
impressed with the features, I was unimpressed with the way it crashed
whenever I chose "about sigmaedit" from the sigmaedit menu.  This was on
Mac+ running from Suitcase, with the new system/finder (4.2/6.0).  This
happened with and without multifinder running. 

The system has been stable since setup.  The only other ways I've
crashed under Multifinder have been:  1)  open some DA's with no memory
(they try to put up a box but don't qute manage).  2)  Openning MacCalc
:-( .

Is something I don't know about wrong with my system, or is something
you don't know about wrong with sigmaedit under the new system (or under
Suitcase)?  If so I hope you fix it soon, as it does have wonderful
features for working with a Unix host via a terminal emulator (sure
beats Emacs).
