You probably have an old copy of FWP and its Dictionary and
Thesaurus.  Either the Dictionary or the Thesaurus (I can't 
remember which) incorrectly had its "bundle bit" set.  This
makes it appear to be an application rather than just a 
"document".  Previous Systems did not have a problem with
this, but last year when System 6.0.x came out, Ashton-Tate sent
a new file (free to registered owners) which had the bundle bit
turned off.  This made the problem you describe go away.  The new
version 1.1 recently sent also has this problem fixed.

Hope this helps.
