Check to see that you have "DA Handler" in your system file.  Under Multifinder
invoking DAs cause the DA HAndler to be started/switched to.  Alternatively
hold down the option key when you invoke the DA and it will be loaded into the
currently running application's layer (but you might run out of memory that
way!).
