Subj: Help using DAs in program 'shell' under MultiFinder and Suitcase

I am trying to use a DA such as Windows while running Suitcase and MultiFinder.
I guess I need to have it run under the resident program's shell instead of
having 'DA Handler' kick in.  [Running Windows under DA Handler is useless.]

I know that holding OPTION before pulling down Apple menu will allow one to
run a DA under program memory shell.  Problem is: When Suitcase detects an
OPTION press, it won't display DAs, only the programs active under MultiFinder.
This is supposed to help as a shortcut, but in my case it's a major hassle.

Does anyone know how to circumvent this conflict of key assignments?  Or do
I just have to live with it?  I'm willing to use ResEdit to change key
assignments, if you'll tell me how.  Thanks in advance.
