I think that the program that you want in Andy Hertzfield's SWITCHER.  It
will allow you to run multiple programs without the finder.  It doesn't
do background printing or multitasking, however.  I believe that it is PD,
and if so, I will e-mail you a copy in a day or two.  It's at home. :^)

I also vaugely remember hearing about a way to coax MultiFinder to run without
the finder, but I am not sure.  Switcher is smaller, anyway and will leave
more of your 1 meg available for applications.

Sorry, I don't know how to use a .signature file yet :-(
