   Simply answer.  The Macintosh doesn't do Multi-Tasking!!!

   Multi-Finder simply allows you to do context switching between loaded
Applications.  It sort of a method to preload all of the software that you
wish to work with ahead of time, and then quick switch between the already
loaded software.

   There is no concept of a process on the Macintosh, so you can't do what
you were asking.  Despite user expectations, the Mac and personal computers
in general are still single treaded beasts, and will be that way for at least
one more year.
