I had the same problem for quite a while until a friend of mine got me a copy
of "Imposters" from off of compuserve. They solve the problem almost perfectly.
I say almost because you need ResEdit to set them up (you have to modify the
STR resources to tell them the name and whereabouts of the application that you
want started) but it is fairly easy to do. Imposters is a stuffit file that
contains several "Imposter" applications already set up (eg. word, macwrite,
nisus, macdraw, etc.).

They are very small (<3kbytes I think) and best of all, they are FREE!
(Wellll.. I did need to pay for my friend's connect time!)
