I believe that you CAN open a document with a specified application using the
procedure you described.  Earlier versions of Juggler had a problem with
this.  The released Finder 6.0 does not.    

Are you sure you are using the released Finder/Multifinder/System software?
It may also be fruitful to rebuild your desktop if you ARE running
FInder 6.0/Multifinder 1.0/System 4.2.
