Oh, try again ;-)  There are several machine which support a basic 
console (text, that is) but don't support the full grf device features.  
Most of the Quadra's have this problem (it requires a little hack to get 
them to work).  It's quite possible that this machine is one of the ones 
having trouble.

Later.
