I think someone said in a previous note that WNE is always available in 6.0,
even when MultiFinder is not running.  I don't know if this is so, since I
have not gotten my copy of the 6.0 stuff yet.  But I wonder... what happens
if this is so, and you test for WNE, find it's implemented, and use it in
your event loop, and MultiFinder is NOT running?  In other words, is it
safe to use WNE under "UniFinder?"
