I've found Newton Press to be a little unstable at times on my 8600/200
w/OS9.1, especially when using the file/add option (or insert, or
import, or whatever it is - can't remember, but you'll find it under
the file menu).
Other's have suggested (prior) on this list to increase the Memory (Get
Info) for the NP application to 25MB or more. I just did that the other
day so I can't tell you if it helps or not...
Personally, I've found NP works 200% more reliably if you simply use
cut & paste as opposed to file/add. Cut the picture from your graphics
app and then paste it directly into a new Newton Press document. NP
handles the translation from the clipboard without any complaints (or
crashing).
