Our Macintosh SE works fine under Finder, but under Multifinder *none*
of the desk accessories work.  When you try to select one, it just
gives an error beep and will not start up, no matter what it is (even
control panel, find file, et al.).  But when you restart under Finder,
all work fine.  Does anyone know the cause?

     It is an SE with 4MB ram.  We are running Finder 6.1 and System
6.0.3.  The DAs are access privileges, alarm clock, calculator, chooser,
control panel, expressionist, find file, glass, keycaps, mac*qn, note
pad, puzzle, rpn calc, scrapbook, and word finder.  Cdevs are general,
boomerang, daylight, keyboard, mouse, moire, sound, soundmaster, and
startup device.  I forget our inits, but there's not much if any.
We're connected to Appletalk.  
     P.S.  In getting this list together, I noticed that boomerang
"can not get a needed resource;" perhaps this is related.

Please e-mail to jfw@neuro.duke.edu; I'll post a summary if there's 
interest.  Thanks!
