I thought there was already a defacto one-key way, many INITs won't
run if *option* is down (I know all my INITs work this way, as do many
I've Nosy'd).  In addition, holding down the mouse button should also
cause it to fail to run.  The reason for not using the command key is that
it is used to defeat the launch of Multifinder:  I don't want to have to
try to catch the exact right time to press command to disable MF without
disabling my INITs.
