Hey, Steve...

When you use OS9 applications or files under your 10.3.9 OS, maybe your 
system opens Classic in order to do that?
That's what happens to me when I try to open an old file that was made 
and saved under OS9. Classic opens and then I can work with it just 
fine, but technically, I'm not working with OSX. I'm on the same machine 
as my OSX, but Classic is doing all the work.

I must say, tho', as I'm up to 10.4.8 now, I rarely go back to use any 
Classic files or applications anymore...
