It only modifies MultiFinder.  Finder, Suitcase II and all others
that use the option key use it as they normally do.

Everywhere they occur in the resource fork of MultiFinder.  But there
should be only two occurances.  For System 6.02, they occur at offsets
4961 (hex) and 8b5f (hex).  For other versions they occur in other places.
Again, be sure to make a backup copy before you modify it!  Also, I havn't
tested it with the new version of MultiFinder that comes with MPW 3.0B1.
