Yes, several of the supplementary FullWrite file (the Thesaurus and the
dictionary, I think) have one of their Finder attributes (namely, the
Bundle bit) turned on by mistake.  This make the Finder think that the
Thesaurus is the application to launch rather than the real FullWrite,
but since the Thesaurus isn't an application, nothing happens.

Previous versions of the system have had a hack in them to prevent this
misinterpretation, but system 6.0.x no longer has this, I guess to force
everyone to clean up their act.

You should have gotten an update disk from Ashton Tate (I did) that has new
copies of the files (no other changes that I know of).  Or if you ar a hacker,
you can turn off the bundle bit using such things as ResEdit, DiskTop or
Set File.
