It is also possible that you were being bitten by what has been referred to
as the "FullWrite Thesaurus" bug.  Both MSWord and FullWrite license the
Thesaurus from Microlytics (it's really Word Finder).  Microlytics supplies
the Thesaurus file with the bundle bit set; this was never a problem until
System 6.0 was released.  Now the Finder gets confused when searching the
DeskTop file since the BNDL reference for that creator doesn't match the APPL
list that it searches.
