Hans,
thanks for the tips. I tried all the possibilities you mentioned, but was not successful in opening a second file without quiting ELAN 3.0. If you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate it...
For your record, here's what I tried.

1) First, in Java Preference, I changed "Java Applet Runtime Settings" to J2SE 1.4.2. In "Java Application Runtime Settings", I put J2SE1.4.2 on top of J2SE5.0.
2) I used the webstart version you recommend. It opened the first file successful. But, I could not open the next file.
3) After trying (2), I moved on to the next possibility you suggested. I edited the info.plist file in the install folder in the way you suggested, and then installed ELAN 3.0. This did not help. (I tried this method for both ELAN_3-0_mac_10_3_install and ELAN_3-0_mac_10_4_install.)

If changing the Java Preferences settings does not help I don't really have other suggestions.
Just to be sure: with editing the Info.plist in the install folder, I was referring to the folder where ELAN resides after installation. So after running ELAN_3-0_mac_10_3_install or ELAN_3-0_mac_10_4_install there will be a folder for ELAN 3.0 and within that folder there is a ELAN 3.0.app folder, containing the Info.plist to edit.
If this is what you did and it still does not work, as a last resort you could edit (in e.g. TextEdit) the ElanMac_3-0.sh file in the folder where ELAN is installed. The last line in that file starts with 'java -Xdock:name='.... Replace the word java by the absolute path to a Java 1.4.2 version, e.g. /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java .
Then run this file from a Terminal window.
All just to make sure that Java 1.4 is used, like before (and assuming that it is then again possible to open multiple eaf files).
