I had an INIT/cdev idea as well (for System 7).  How about an auto-Hide Others?
All those other open apps really can get distracting.  When I'm using THINK
Pascal and have a half-dozen units open, sometimes you'll see something way in
back and think it's the unit you're looking for.  Click on it and you're in the
Finder.  Whoops.

Could and INIT or such just patch the _Launch and post a mouseDown in the Hide
Others menu item?  I wouldn't know how to write an INIT, so feel free to knock
this one off to your own credit.

just a suggestion (aren't we all just sitting around without any programming to
do?)
