I have used Set StartUp and have a number of DAs and
Applications that start up automatically.  However, sometimes
I would like to just boot up with multiFinder.  If I redo Set
StartUp to choose MultiFinder only, then when I want to go
back to the way it used to be, I have to start up all the apps
and DAs (if I can remember them all) and then redo Set StartUp
again.

Alternatively, I can rename Finder StartUp in the System
Folder and then name it back later.

Occasionally I will also be dealing with some floppy that has
a statup app and I would like to suppress it too.

What I would like is if there is just some key or chord of
keys that I could hold down at boot time to suppress the
finder startup setting on that boot, the same way I can
suppress many INITs.  Is there any such key?
