There are at least two things I'd like added to Multi-Finder. One
of them should be easy. The ApplicationMenu INIT that was posted by
Apple a while ago os excellent and seems to me would be reasonable
to make a standard part of MF (afterall, Apple did develop it,
presumably because some there thought it was useful). The other thing
I'd like to see is a way to "hide" windows easily so that icons on the
desktop could be more easily accessed (without having to resize and/or
move windows). A logical approach would be perhaps to extend the
AppicationMenu to list both applications and windows. To hide a window
one would simply have to select it from this menu (where it would then 
be checked or something to indicate its special status). It would be
nice if ApplicationMenu also listed currently open DAs...
