[comp.sys.mac.system] Strange behavior when I switch between 6 and 7

I recently installed System 7, placing it in a separate folder on
my hard disk. (I'm not ready to commit to the plunge fully just yet.)
To switch between system 6 and system 7, I move system
files in and out of system folders. I've seen a couple of strange
things after I switch back to system 6:

1. Background printing is no longer available. This happens whether
    I use the old printer driver software or the new system 7 printer
    driver.

2. When I switch back to system 6, the system starts up in the Finder
    only. If I enable MultiFinder and restart, the access light on
    my hard disk flashes about every 10 or 15 seconds. I don't
    know what could be causing these disk accesses.

Can anyone shed any light on this behavior? Also, has anyone had problems
with WriteNow v. 2.2 under System 7? I had problems with the right
margin but I haven't experimented enough to know if it's consistent.
