Jan, I just (even as we speak, as it were) tried it, and it
worked fine.  Have you modified the MF bits in RSG's size -1
resource?  Do you know about that?  I (possibly incorrectly) set
the second (Suspend/Resume), fourth and fifth (Undefined) bits to
1 (one), and it works fine.  The fourth bit means "Understands
background NULL events", and the fifth bit is "MultiFinder Aware". 

I'm not really sure what the possible ramifications are of doing
this (with ResEdit, by the way), but after doing it with a number
of applications, I haven't run into trouble yet.  It doesn't work
with some programs, like PM 2.0a, but seemed to with RSG 4.0.  

As with any hacking around with ResEdit, you should do this with
a **_COPY_** of RSG, not even close to your only copy.  Good
luck, have fun, and don't blame me if you erase your hard disk,
or something... I was out of town.
