Ack! I meant Onyx 2.

Yeah, I think this might be it, not to mention the fact that I only have a 
100 Mhz R4600.  I've got more memory on the way, though, and I'm gonna try 
it before I revert back to 6.2.  I *really* like the extra goodies that 
come with 6.5.

BTW, how do I get midi to work on the Indy with 6.5?  With 6.2, it "just 
worked" although it was kinda crappy.
