OK, I tried the above sequence on ThinkC, except there were no 'mstr'
resources to delete, no dice :-)  I stil can't open a project from the
finder if ThinkC is already running.

I did find 'MENU' resources ID#s 101 and 102 which seemed to have some
multifinder related information in them but I was hesitant to stomp on
them without knowing what they are there for.  Anyone care to
enlighten me?  Otherwise, where do I look if I want to read about it?
