In Multifinder, is there a way to turn off the finder so that it doesn't
take up the memory?  IF so, I think that is what I have done, but didn't 
realize I did it.  I would like to know how to leave the finder running
when I launch an application.

When I run an application (In this case MacTerminal), the icon appeared
in the upper right corner and the application ran fine.  When I tried to
click on the icon to return to the finder to launch another application,
it wouldn't switch.  Also, the finder was not listing in the apple menu.
Thirdly, in the finder (before I launched MacTerminal), when I pulled 
down the "About the finder", I saw that there was no memory allocated to 
the finder and only the system showed up.

I am using a Mac II, 2 meg RAM, sys 6.0.2, finder 6.1, multifinder 6.0.1

Any ideas?  (I also noted that it takes about 10 - 20 seconds to launch
	     a file in multifinder...disk doesn't spin, nothing apparent
	     is happening, but then it finally goes)
