********************************

I am looking for  a  program that  allows me to  launch an application
from the  finder (in multifinder)  without having to  dig through many
folders. Preferably, it   should  also  allow   a "document"   to   be
double-clicked,   say from a   permanent  finder-menu  or an  extended
keyboard key.

I    understand  that   ICOM   On-cue  and    Masterjuggler have  such
capabilities.  How are they different? Is one superior in this kind of
feature?

Also, are  there  any  PD programs  that can do  this? I tried Oasis a
while back, but it's difficult to  create equally spaced buttons, it's
not  really a finder  addition  (but  a  replacement),  pops   up  the
developer instead of closing when one clicks  on the box (funny, ain't
it?), and doesn't shut down when I command the standard finder to shut
down.

Any information on this topic would be highly appreciated.

Also, what can I do if I  bought myself a PMMU?  I know about UNIX and
Connectix.  However, the  former  is out of  my price  range,  and the
latter doesn't use it to trap misguided  programs. What I really would
like is a C compiler with a debugger which doesn't  kill my OS if  the
program runs amok. Is  there a planned  extension of  MPW which can do
this?

And,  finally, I had a program  called Layout that would allow  me  to
make files snap  to   their  positions always. It   doesn't work  with
6.0.2., unfortunately. Is there a new version?

Again, any information would be highly appreciated.
