Actually, you can use On Cue.  However, if you are running Multi-Finder,
the applications running are placed in the Apple Menu(as you know) so there
is not a real need to have the Applications in an easily accessable place.
However, what I think would be nice is to have an application or INIT
which will allow you to still use your DA's under the new System
(assuming it won't support DA's like we have been talking about.)

There are a few DA's which I use daily and are very important to me for
operation of my Mac.  Totally getting rid of DA's is a bad move.  
SuiteCase would be a nice thing to have, should DA's not be supported.
Another thing which got lost in our mumbo-jumbo is that we want this
"DA Application Manager" to allow a greater flexibility in where the DA's
(INITS, CDEV's, and anything else used in the System Folder right now) reside
on the disk.
