Ron, what does "the same bouncy bouncy thing" mean?

Are you referring to a dock icon bouncing during app startup? If so, 
I had the same problem here (was running it on a PPC G4 with 1 Gb of 
RAM).

The problemn was that the 5.2 version of RMCLK reserves 1 Gb of RAM 
... which this old machine does not have. So after many minutes of 
startup, the Listener finally appeared. The solution was to use the 
hint presetned by Andrew a few days ago on changing the amount of 
memory requested:

I evaled this in the listener:

(let* ((handle (#_NewHandle 4)))
  (setf (%hget-unsigned-long handle 0) (ash 1 29)) ; 1.5 GB ==> 0.5 GB
  (save-application "smaller-rmcl" :resources `((,handle "NSIZ" 1))))

and now the new app called smaller-mcl starts up in a second.
