I called the SuitCase folks to ask about this and Pyro not auto-blacking under multi-finder. Suitcase does let you open additional DAs if you are just using finder, but not in "multi-tasking environments" like switcher, servant, multi-finder. Something about contention for the DA menu. This is stated in the manual, and I was told they hope to remove this "restriction". My biggest gripe was that Pyro! could not be told to auto-black in multi-finder. It notices that there ate tasks "not-idle" and does not auto-black. They indicated they are working on making Pyro! "multi-finder aware". -- John Gilbert !trwrb!felix!john
