Phil,

For me, on a "mere" 1 meg Mac Plus, due to memory constraints, for the few
times that I do use MultiFinder, I usually want to return to the Finder during
the same work session.  Given some bugginess of the programs that I use, this
is the best way for me to work.  Thus, a MF --> F exit would be useful to me,
and I presume others with memory limitations.

This situation is similar to your reason #2, in one sense, but different
enough that I wanted to comment...

Jim
