As far as I know, On Cue I (not II) was just a application menu.  Next to
the multifinder icon (upper right hand corner) would be the On Cue icon, where
if you click, it will be a menu of the applications of your choice.

HandOff II also has this (plus option of putting the menu next to the apple
menu).  It also has the ability to make suitcases for applications.  For
example, if you usually keep your mac ii in two color mode, but want to
run a color paint program, you can make a suitcase.  The suitcase will
contain the paint program and the command to change colors to 8 bit and
to open the picture you are working for the pixel paint competition.
That's a pretty nice feature.  Not only does it have suitcases, but
it also substitutes creator types for another.  Meaning if you don't
have MacWrite on your drive and you get a macwrite file.  When you double
click the file, it says macwrite can't be found.  With HandOff II, it
will ask you if you want to substitute another application (like WriteNow)
for macwrite files.  So, next time you get another macwrite file, just
double click and WriteNow will open up that document.
As you can guess, I think HandOff II is a pretty neat-o CDEV.  I would
certainly get it over On Cue I.  But, I don't know anything about On Cue II.
