   I need to write a program for Multifinder that sits in the
 background waiting for a file to be created by another application
 and then process that file and goes back to wait.
 (no windows or menus). How do you set a program for background only?

   Has anybody done anything similar? I'd love to see some sample
 code in LSC or MPW.

   Also, what other ways besides using _OpenDeskAcc can be used to
 switch between applications in Multifinder (programming).
   
   Thanks a BuNDLe in advance
