No, there is no problem switching to a different application while
downloading (or uploading) under MultiFinder. That is, if your
communication program supports background events. Some take a real hit when
you switch to something else. I don't know about MacKnowledge, it should
mention whether or not background up/downloading is a supported feature
somewhere in the manuals.

System 7.0 is expected to be released middle of 1991.

It all depends on how MultiFinder friendly your applications are.
