I know this was discussed recently, but I can't find the string on our
machine. I just got a 30M hard drive.  I installed a number of
applications w/o any problem.  The only one which is causing any
trouble is MS Word (3.01).  When I try to open its documents (from the
finder), I get the "application busy or not available" box.  I put Word
in the same folder as the documents and still have the same problem.
If I put a Word floppy in the internal drive, then opening a document
on the hard drive runs Word off the floppy.  There is nothing wrong
with the copy of Word on the hard drive -- if I open it directly, I can
then open any of the documents from within the program and run normally.
The "type" and "creator" fields all look correct.  I tried setting various
combinations of the "bundled" and "inited" bits, with no effect.

If you remember the solution or saved the previous string, please let me
know.   Thanks.
