How come when I duplicate applications (StuffIt Expander or the like) the
Finder will always launch StuffIt Expander copy FIRST?

I've just paraphrased it when I replied.  The Finder will launch the
"newest" file, be it different version or written to disk later than the
original

I hate explaining "technical" stuff because if I paraphrase it to make it
understood by others, I will always get mail like this.  Sorry for the
problems.
