 I appreciate ALL information, even if it's prefaced with "you shouldn't
do it, it may/might/will break, but..."

 For the combination of System 6.0 and MultiFinder 6.0, checking the
MFDispatch trap ($A88F) against the unimplemented trap WORKS. Thanks, Rich.

 I'm writing a utility that diplays a 'system configuration' dialog, not
unlike the Finder's About box. It looks pretty foolish if I display a
"MultiFinder Active" string when in fact only WaitNextEvent is "active".
For that matter, it looks foolish to display "Total Memory: 192K" or
whatever value I (used to be able to) derive from MemTop. I realize MF
is doing its best to hide "the rest of the machine" from me, but the
Finder is somehow privileged with this information; what am I missing?

 Question #2: How do I determine the TOTAL amount of RAM installed, under MF?
