Oh so *that's* what this is about! Simple (in fact, I've been doing this all along w.o thinking): Just put both the app. and its docs in a folder that has a slightly different title than the app. itself. My Finale folder, e.g., is called simply "Finale," not "Finale 2002a." I had worried that the Applications and Documents folders were somehow mandatory for Systems 9 and X. I still don't know about X (and since I'm not using it right now, I don't care yet), but I bought a copy of _System 9, the Missing Manual_ (and much thanx to the two of you who recommended that) and found that these two folders are inessential. Therefore, I'm trashing them. Problem solved.
