One of the most annoying things about the Mac is how it handles the
opening of documents.  If I 2-click on a document, this launches the
appropriate application and all is fine with the world.  Now I go back
to the finder and 2-click on another document expecting this document
to be opened also, but instead I get an alert box that says "Some
documents could not be opened or printed."

I think Lightspeed C does this although Write 4.0 does not.  Is this
something that I have to modify in the system/finder or in the apps
themselves?  Is there a generalized solution that will let me open
arbitrary numbers of documents regardless of the application?

This really defeats the entire notion of being able to just click on
documents to opn them and I'm REALLY surprised Apple or the
application developrs haven't done something about it.  It's truly
counter-intuitive.
