I find both Set Aside and Set Aside Others to be tremendously useful for decreasing screen clutter, especially on a my Plus. My only wish is that MultiFinder would _automatically_ set aside the current application when I switch to another app. Since it doesn't, I usually switch to another app via the Apple menu and then select Set Aside Others to set aside whatever app I was just in. Just takes a little longer than it should. -eric -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Schlegel '90 | "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a eric.schlegel@dartmouth.edu | station wagon full of tapes."
