Help. I have every piece of documentation except the one I need, of course,
the "Multifinder Development Package", or whatever it's called. Basically,
I need to set up a primitive communication between two applications, one
in the background, using the desk scrap. Under Multifinder the two
applications appear to have separate scraps, but there some technical
nodes refer to a SystemEdit() call which sounds like the possible answer
to this problem. Any documentation on this would be appreciated.

Please do NOT send me pontifications on how I am misusing the scrap manager,
and how everything will be wiped out by an unplanned call to ZeroScrap().
When Apple installs some reasonable interprocess communication, I call
ditch this tom foolery...
