I'm terribly sorry to clutter the group again, BUT now my system
is doing something wierd again (but with a different twist).
Files are losing their applications.  When I open a folder full 
of MacWrite or <insert application> files, they show up as
"document."  If I click on the file, it gives me the "application
not found" message.  If, however, I open the application I can
open the file with no problem.  In addition, all the other 
<insert application> files in that window suddenly remember
where they came from (until I close the window and open it again).
I haven't lost any data, but the amusement value is starting to
wear off and I'd like to make it go away.  As usual, the systems
area at work is totally without a clue as to what the problem
could be.  Help???

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

p.s. already tried rebuilding the Desktop...no dice.
