One of our users is having a problem with her Mac SE.  It seems that 
her MacWrite documents have changed their "Kind" to "letter for bob
document"  where "letter for bob" is the name of a  Macwrite document
that she created this morning.  

I got the call when she couldn't double-click on any document to open
it (application not found or busy).  When I got to her office, I found
that ALL of the MacWrite documents on her hard disk had the bogus
"Kind".  MacPaint and it's documents were unaffected.  I found the
"letter for bob" (although I must admit that I failed to see if I
could open it from within MacWrite), and I noticed that I cannot
change the name.  Clicking in the middle of the name does not bring
the text cursor up it just leaves the whole name highlighted.

I put a copy of my MacWrite distribution floppy in and it's sample
documents too had the same "letter for bob document" Kind.  Creating
and saving new documents also had the Kind.  I brought my floppy back
and tried it on one of our HardDiskless Macs and the sample documents
were returned to being "MacWrite documents".

I've warned the user not to share disks with any other Mac's and told
her that MacWrite appears to work fine if she opens documents from
within MacWrite itself.

Anyone know what could be causing this?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
