My mailer swallowed my response to you (I haven't the faintest idea
where it went ...), so I thought I'd try this route to see if you're
around somewhere.

Thanks for letting me know about the FW bundle bit problem. Yes, the
finder thinks all the documents belong to the dictionary. The question
remains - how do I fix the bundle bit on the dictionaries and thesaurus.
I have MacTools which will allow me to edit the files, but I don't know
_where_ the bundle bit is in the file. (I realize that I have to set
the "finder flags" business to zero, but I don't know where they are
[their offset from the beginning of the file, for example]). Any
suggestions? To be honest, having to move the application around on
the desktop before launching is driving me nuts.

While, we're at it: is there any way you can think of to open that file
that was messed up while I was trying macro maker? Right now, FW just
sits there and spins the watch cursor. The "opening document" dialog box
is on the screen but no disk access occurs. Sort of sounds like 
something has been "set" in the file ...(?)
