This sounds like it might be the dreaded "No DA Handler in the System
Folder" problem.  Under MultiFinder, desk accessories are by default run
under the control of a mini-app called DA Handler.  Under Finder, they are
run in the invoking application's memory space, under its control.  To get
this behavior under MultiFinder, hold down OPTION while selecting the 
DA.  Anyway, check that DA Handler exists in the System Folder of the
boot device.
