I have a public domain/shareware (I don't know which without digging it out)
DA called "AppleApple" (actually, it's just got two of the 'apple' logo things
from the Chicago font, but it's kind of hard to "paste" one of those in here).
This DA allows you to open another DA that is located anywhere (by using the
StandardFile dialog).  It then adds an "AppleApple" item to the menu bar, 
from which you can "re-open" a previously selected DA (if you "closed" it by
clicking in the "close" box), or to permanently "close" (i.e., "forget about")
the currently selected DA.  Note that "AppleApple" only allows you to have
ONE non-System-Folder DA selected at a time.  

From what I remember, it worked quite well, but there was at least one DA that
DIDN'T work with "AppleApple" (I don't remember which).  I don't usually keep
it installed (at least not any more), but it is nice to have if you've just
acquired a ****load of new DAs and you DON'T have Master Juggler, or Font/DA
Juggler, or Suitcase, etc., and you DON'T want to spend the next three days
installing and de-installing things with the Font/DA Mover.

Anyway, to make a long story longer, if anyone is interested, drop me e-mail
and I'll dig it out.  If it is PD or shareware, I'll BinHex it and StuffIt
and mail it off to you.
