I've got this simple app that only makes sense when run under
MultiFinder (i.e. it displays some info but otherwise does
nothing useful).  Since it assumes MultiFinder, I've decided
not to add support for DA's within my application (after all,
there's DA Handler).  This only means that if you install a
DA in my app then I won't open it but I will still otherwise
open DA's into DA Handler.  To accomplish this goal I thought
I'd simply set the current resource file to the system file
and then AddResMenu(AppleMenuHandle, 'DRVR') and then switch
the current resource file back to my application when creating
my application menus.  Is this approach "star-crossed" for
any reason (i.e. too simplistic)?
