[ computer beeps under multifinder when one tried to load DA ]

I had this same problem when I first installed multifinder on my Mac. Not
having the manuals, (which cost $$$) I was in the dark. It turns out that
Multifinder needs a system file called 'DA Handler' which is loaded much
like an application and then the DA's are put in this process's heap.

Without the file, multifinder looks for it, and not finding it, simply beeps.

If you were out of memory, the DA handler would tell you so.

You should have this file as part of the Multifinder system disks.
If not, I suppose I can send it to you. (That's ok, right?, or is that not
all right any more?)

Good Luck,
