Open application when file double clicked

[Peter Haworth]

Just tried opening the application by double clicking it and still no oapp
event.  The more I think about this, the more I"m thinking that there's
something in my startup/preopnCard handlers that is getting in the way of
the apple event.  That would explain why double clicking on a file AFTER
the application is open works fine.

Amazing how often these "I think I'll just add this quick little
convenience feature..." end up screwing you up!
