   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.

There is more. It's possible to attache any number of documents to be
passed when launching an application. Moreover there is application
switching with key commands and it's possible to access  One Cue I in both
upper corners.


   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.

I just switched to HandOff II which is a lot more powerful than
On Cue I. However, I have some compatibility problems with
HandOff II so can't use all of its features. For example, multiple
application launching does not work if one application shows a
dialog at startup such as ResEdit 2.x and THINK Pascal. Moreover,
my copy of HandOff is incompatible with "INIT Bus Error" and
MultiDisk. But HandOff is neat so I just wait for that bugfix to
show up.

I'm also interested in On Cue II so if anyone have any
information, post it!
