Is there some easy way, via some OS trick or an available init, to make 
multifinder hide all but the frontmost layer?  This is for a friend of mine 
who needs to use multifinder, but who gets very confused when the screen 
shows several open applications and the finder simultaneously.

Thanks, and sorry if this is an old topic - I tried scanning some
archives but I came up with nothing...  -Lee (spector@cs.umd.edu)
