One way to make this process easier is to use resedit (or your favorite disk-mangling program :-) to change multifinders' type to an application. then, when you want to use it, you just double-click. It's real nice if you've set up your multifinder startup -- you click on the MF icon and three or four programs all pop up! > > -- > -- Stephen D.
