This is really fascinating! GNO allows up to 32 concurrent processors. On an Apple IIGS. Like, wow this is impressive and must have been really really wild when it first came out.
I figured out where a lot of my problems came from - somehow I had corrupted two of the GNO distribution archives. Once I realized that, I got fresh copies and all seems well... almost all.
It appears that the larger commands fail quietly (sometimes locking up the machine). I'm guessing that this is related to the amount of RAM in the machine. With 1.25MB, I'm left with about 200KB available (GNO sits on top of GS/OS, so that's really not that bad).
Anyway, I'm working on something useful to do with it ... :-)

Where did you get a copy of GNO/ME? I tried looking for it and I can't figure out where to get it from. Every link (even GNO's own site) seems to more or less go nowhere.
You can reach me at:
luposian@cox.net
I think this is where I got the base distribution of GNO/ME...
ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/gno/base/
Then, if you navigate up a level, you get more of the available GNO stuff. Not all is useful, but there are a few tidbits.

HTH!
