  Open the System Folder, find the MultiFinder Icon and double click on it
while holding down the Option-Command keys.  You can launch anyfile in this
manner, I'm not saying it will work {launching MF this way works fine} but
clicking on the ImageWriter won't show some new and weird application to you.

  Now for some Macintosh LEGEND {notice LEGEND in BIG letters}.  The 
designers of the Mac put this option here to allow them to launch software that
they knew would run, apparently the Lisa Pascal Workshop didn't always do
a good job of informing the finder that the file is an application, so they
put this option there to allow them to by-pass the finder's safty net of not
letter users do anything BAD.  In this way they could lanuch what the finder
would've normally considered a document rather than an application.
