[Finale] Running two versions of Finale on the same Mac

[Christopher BJ Smith]

I know some people here have multiple versions of Finale installed 
and running perfectly well on their Macs. I need to have 2002 and 
2003 both on my G4, which I have done, in separate folders, and I 
moved the registration and preferences to the same directory as the 
application, for both folders.

But (most people have a big "but", as PeeWee Herman would say) there 
is a folder called Finale Plugins in my preferences folder, 
apparently containing preferences for only:

ClassicTrans.1.9.5.prefs
RGP Finale Plugins Prefs
Text Editor 2K1.1.4.7.prefs
which, when I moved it to the Finale 2002 folder, a dialogue box came 
up the next time I opened Fin 2002 asking me to repeat my preferences 
for two of the three, and the Finale Plugins folder was re-created in 
my Preferences folder, apparently ignoring the fact that I had moved 
it.

Will Fin2003 do this, too, and will the preferences be over-written, 
or can they share preferences? I dare not try just yet until I get 
more info.

Also (second big but), whenever I double-click on any Finale file, 
Fin 2002 always opens, instead of the version that created it, so if 
I double-click on a 2003 file, I get an error message. Any way around 
that, other than dragging and dropping onto the Fin 2003 icon, or 
opening from inside Fin 2003?

Thanks

Christopher
