       *	I agree that INITs and CDEVs are to be avoided, but so are

I agree, but can live with it.

       *	Since it's "background only", you can't have MultiFinder start
	   it up using the "Opened Applications and DAs" option.  I
	   refuse to warp my application locations just so I can use the
	   "Selected Items" option.

Definitely!

       *	The "sleep now" and "SetDarkness" options don't work on a
	   IIci, Apple 2-page display with 8*24 card, running 6.0.5 under
	   MultiFinder (only foreign INITs are Suitcase II 1.2.6 and ATM
	   1.2).  It does kick in by timing.

And worst of all, same on my IIci (6.0.4, internal video w/b&w monitor).
Yanked all INITs, still no difference.

   My shareware fee is in escrow until Darkness becomes usable for me :-).

Haven't even written the check yet. :-)
