Below is my original question and Chaz's response.  It does work if you are
"opening" a new application, but doesn't if you just choose an already 
running application under multifinder.  Does anyone know what messages get   
sent when you choose another application running under Multifinder.  Someone
else suggested using multifinder 6.1b9 with the "put aside..." option but
there should be some way of doing it without that.  Unless apple wasn't
thinking about 9" screens running multifinder.
