Addendum to thread #17982:

Another strange occurrence: After I put EasyFind into the dock, quit it, then tried to reopen it, it refused to do my bidding. I tried doing the same thing with an alias, but that didn't work either. Now, this is an application in the Applications folder (filed under Utilities); so why won't it work like any other application, such as dragging its icon to the dock? Most curious. What am I missing?
