Hello Ted,
I use zmanager.geo (Zoomer File Manager) on my OG regularly.
I have had manager.geo up and running, but removed it as
I prefer zmanager. In order to run zmanager, I have the
the following (long file name) geodes on my SRAM card
in \GEOWORKS\SYSTEM:
Generic User interface
Print Spool Library
Shell Library
Even though some (or all) of these are shipped with the OG,
I had to include the OLDER versions that came with the GEOS SDK.
You are on the right track in identifying which geodes are necessary.
Next, through trial and error, determine if older geodes
are required. This makes running zmanager or manager costly in
terms of storage space, but for my use a good file manager is
manditory.
Regarding your "legal issues" comment, I took these geodes off
the Geos 2.1 SDK. I think it cost $100. In addition to
two file manager programs, I converted example fragments into
OgEdit (ascii editor) and OgComm (stream based comm program). And
the docs helped me customize ini files (people call this
"Expert Mode" based on Chris De Herrerra's fine work on the Zoomer)
which I include in sedit.zip. By the way, I don't think the newer
version of the GEOS SDK includes these file managers. Research
which SDK is right for you before reaching for your wallet!
My stuff is freeware, available off my web page:

I had Tetris running, but removed it so I can't tell you what (if any)
extra geodes were necessary. Use the same process mentioned above.
(I think I had to use the pen though, I remember not being able to
play the game keys).
