   For those of you who joined us late, various people were wishing that
windows wouldn't pop to the front in the Finder sometimes, because the new
frontmost window would block a smaller window that they were copying to.
   Many people suggested using Rear Window, a nifty INIT by Allan Foster that
keeps a window from popping to the front in the Finder when you hold down
command-tab.  People could then copy or move their files in peace.
   Unfortunately, with the advent of MultiFinder and its many over-patches,
Rear Window didn't work anymore.  Rear Window MF (which I whipped up in the
last half hour) fixes the MultiFinder problem.  It's free since it was no
trouble at all to write, but please don't go modifying my code.  (This is one
of the few things that I'm really touchy about.)  Since it's not much longer
than the original Rear Window, (which wasn't very long in the first place) I'm
just tacking it on to the end of this message.  Toss it in your System Folder
and have a blast.  Share and enjoy!
   (Didn't mean to steal your thunder Allan, but this was long overdue!)
