For those of you who don't want to run the beta MultiFinder, there is an
alternative.

There is an "InvisWin" FKEY floating about out there.  When invoked via
Command/Shift <whatever>, it makes the content section of the CURRENT window
transparent, allowing access to whatever is behind it.  Now, the neat thing: 
If, using Quickeys, that FKEY is aliased to another key, invoking that alias
will hide ALL windows of the current application.

Neat, eh?
