    I notified the author about this problem not long after the posting.
I have not received any reply.

    The probelm is that MacMan (and some other stuff I've seen) is
leaving the System Event Mask set so that it ignores mouseUp events.
The Finder does not reset the mask to everyEvent.  Hence, the problem
with double-clicks.

    I have not found a way to patch these prpgrams directly,
but I made an FKEY that fixes the situation.  All it does is set
the System Event Mask to everyEvent, then return.  I can e-mail
to anyone interested.  If there is sufficient interest, I could post
it (it's VERY short).

    Please direct responses to the address below.
