Unfortunately, at least one program that fits in this category is Apple's
very own HyperCard!  Some of us find this little thing useful (or necessary).
I am *ALWAYS* switching between MF and non-MF for this very reason on
my (1M--more on order) SE.

In fact, I imagine there are a LOT of people out there with exactly this
problem, entirely brought on by Apple.  (Not that I'm complaining [much];
both MF and HC are really wonderful--I just wish they could be used together.)
