MultiFinder: Workaround for Incompatible Desk Accessories

Why do some desk accessories work with MultiFinder and others do not?

Some desk accessories do not work properly under the MultiFinder DA Handler
(version 1.0). If you open the DA while holding down the Option key, the DA
loads into the present application's heap. This will allow some (but not all)
MultiFinder-incompatible DAs to work correctly.

If you have a DA that is used in one application only, you may install
it into that application using the Font/DA mover. This allows you to open
the DA in the application's heap without having to hold down the Option key.
