Unless Chris has changed it in the forthcoming version, I believe this is
correct -- you must give permissions to the DA Handler. Not much of a
problem under MultiFinder (i.e. a virus *could* install itself as a
DA, but then you'd have to run it, etc.). But under UniFinder, it
seems that you'd have to give permission to *any program that might
open that DA*. Be careful...
