Hi,

I'm having a problem with Finder 6.1.7 not running DA's directly from the
apple menu.  When I select a DA, I get a sysbeep.  If I hold the <option>
key, it launches properly.  Therefore, I believe that this is a problem with
the memory allocated to the Finder.  I've upped the "Get Info" size from
163K (or so) to 500K.  This has had no effect, other than adding a lot
of space in the Finder's listing in "About the Finder."

There are two SIZE resources, 0 and -1 in Finder.  Only one reflected the
"Get Info" change to 500K.  I then modified the other with no apparent
result.

I am running a number of inits, on a Mac IIsi with System 6.0.7, if it's
any use.

Please respond through e-mail as I seldom read this group.


Thanks in advance for your advice,


Rob Asen
