We'd love to have some kind of switching ability here, so that we would
not have to keep quitting Calamus, going into the drawing program,
touching up a graphic, quitting the drawing program, and going back into 
Calamus again (the story of our lives).  As for true multi-tasking, I'd
kill for it, but my wife (who is an editor and layout artist) would
probably rarely use it.  
  
The advantage of multi-tasking is that every program would not have to
try to emulate every other program (note the plethora of programs with
file functions like copy and disk format built-into them), and that
different sorts of programs would not have to compete with each other,
but could come together into some kind of large, useful whole.
