	Since the original discussion had nothing to do with the
	"pre-MultiFinder era" whats the point? It was specifically
	refering to MultiFinder as I recall.

	I also don't think that MultiFinder is a revision of the non
	multitasking finder, since the Finder is runnning as a task
	or process under MultiFinder.
