Jay,

Here's the skinny. While trying to get the Background Folder trick to
work, I created a stripped-down System Folder containing only
MultiFinder 6.1b9, Finder 6.1.4, System 6.0.4, and Background Folder
[Finder 6.1.4 and System 6.0.4 are from the System Software 6.0.4
release. Also, my machine is a IIci if that matters.]

Now, I can put all kinds of applications in the Background Folder, but
the only one that the system will start is Backgrounder, Apple's print
monitor daemon.

It appears that the System is configured correctly, because it finds 
Backgrounder. What I cannot figure out is why the system refuses to
launch the other applications in the Background Folder. Any ideas?

One other thing: If I rename any application in the Background Folder
to Backgrounder, then the system will start that application. So it
appears that the name Backgrounder is special.

Cheers,
Norm
