I know how to startup under the finder.  I prefer to just hold down the command
key, so that I don't have to reset the startup default.

The warning that appears when you remove a DA under Multifinder does NOT suggest
anything drastic.

Anyway, that does not explain why the problem recurred after I re-installed the
System.

I never said that it is incompatible with Suitcase.  I said that after things got
fouled up, Suitcase would not load.
