Even easier, get a copy of Switch (it's now at v1.01).  This enables you to
do two things:

	1) pick a hot-key that will switch between tasks
	2) switch between tasks just by clicking the multifinder icon

It's nifty, and it was just posted here yesterday (I think). If you missed
it, try sumex-aim.stanford.edu... --Erik

PS - a suggestion to the author: make #2 optional.  Often I click on the
multifinder icon just to see what I have running, and if I don't move the
mouse deliberately, it switches tasks.  I like the hotkey, though...
