Oh really?  And under which Finder/System/Multifinder release can you do
this?

Seriously, though, this going from Multifinder to [Uni]Finder business
ought be straightened out.  Rebooting in order to drop from MF to F is a
big kludge [Servant, though buggy, can do "Shut Up" from Servant to Finder].

BTW, before MF was released there was a rumor that Andy was going to do a
non multitasking version of Servant. I.e., a servant which would run as a
Finder substitute under Multifinder.  Has anyone heard more about this?
