Just in case there is a line eater out there...............

Yes, Apple imposed a limit of 15 Da's thru the Font/DA mover. There are
several solutions to this problem, Double Apple, Da Switcher...But the
BEST solution is a product called SUITCASE from Software Supply, in 
sunnyvale Ca. If you look back a couple of days in this notes group for
any references to Suitcase, Pyro or Powerstation, somebody gave the
address and phone number of where to order. 

Essentially, Suitcase is an INIT that you put in the system folder
along with a folder called DAs that may contain up to 10 DA files.
In side of the Da files you can have however many DA's Apple allows you
to place in a DA file. Suitcase reads these files on booting up your Mac
and loads them into the Desk accy menu ALONG WITH the 1-15 DAs you might
already have loaded into your system. In addition, SUITCASE will let you
load das from da files on the fly. It does the same thing for FONTS
as well, but thats another story.

I highly recommend it!
