The only problem that still remains is the trash can.  It still remains
hidden on the desktop.  I would like to be able to throw things away
from the finder while in MultiFinder, but every so often I find an
unfriendly application whose window cannot be shrunk or moved out of
the way and it ends up hiding the trash can.  I suppose I could
use one of my desk accessories that can delete files, but I hesitate
to do that with the finder open because of experiences I had in the
past.  A thought that just occured to me, can you put the trash can
in a folder?
