After reading a few articles about Rich Siegel's (sp?) newest
version of ToMultiFinder, I did want to mention that if you
have QuicKeys there is a nice little shortcut you can award
yourself if you use Multifinder less often than Uni/Solo/Mono
Finder.

Just use ResEdit or something like it to change the file type
of Multifinder from ZSYS to APPL.  Then it can be recognized
by the file filter in QuicKey's "File..." operation.  I assigned
the F15 key on the extended keyboard to run Multifinder.  Then
set the type back to ZSYS to avoid future trouble.... :-)

Since I do a lot of development in LS Pascal 1.11, I use the
"little Finder" a lot more often than the "big Finder".  So
when I do want to use Multifinder, I just hit F15 and up it
comes.

Of course, I will quit doing this when LS Pascal comes out,
which I guess is sometime in the next 6 weeks if all goes
well?
