Seems my original query was not clear about what I want.  Here's a
second try:

Here's the picture: I bought Now Utilities (for Super Boomerang).  It
comes with an application launcher/switcher INIT (like OnCue or
HandOff) that will drop a "menu" of applications.  You can attach
documents to each application, and you then get a submenu that lets
you launch the application with a specific document:

	| MacWrite         | ------------
	| Microsoft Word > | | Other...	|
	| Persuasion	   | | Paper    |
	| Photoshop	   | | xyzzy    |
	| SuperPaint	   | ------------

With the number of applications I like to have available, the menu can
get pretty long.  I saw somewhere recently (I thought on the net) a
reference to a program that launches its "document".  I could name a
copy of this program "Games", and then have a menu like this:

	| Draw		  | -----------------
	| Games         > | | Canfield      |
	| MacWrite	  | | Forty Thieves |
	| Microsoft Word  | | Shanghai	    |
	| Persuasion	  | | Tetris	    |
	| Photoshop	  | -----------------

Does anybody know of this program and where I can find it?
