So I checked that thread Woody gave me (see above) and -- following Betty's
hint -- tried installing under OSX from the .hqx installer. After all, if
it *does* start Classic, it should work right?! But it didn't.

Rebooted my Powerbook into MacOS 9.2.2 and installed there, which worked
like a charm. Now Press runs under 9.2.2 and in Classic mode on OSX.

Status: Case closed. ;=} Thanks, Woody & Betty! I'll put a note up on the
Wiki at
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/InstallNewtonPressOnMacOSX .

Any pointers for those unfortunate souls who can't boot into MacOS 9.x anymore?
How can it be done all within OSX?
