I had a similar problem recently with Dreams. I could only double click
a dreams document and get the program to run if the folder with the 
program was open. After much hair pulling and reinstalling of the program,
I eventually found out that it was the SUM inits that were causing the 
problem (version 1.02 or whatever the most recent release was).
Since this was basically the last straw with me for SUM, I unpartitioned
my disk and removed SUM. No problems now.

Anybody know of any good partitioning software for a mac with a quantum
drive?
