	Servant is being created by Andy Hertzfeld. It will not be multi-
	tasking, but will be a switcher/finder replacement. It has the
	ability to load several programs at once, and you can move from
	application to application by locating the window of the application
	that you wish to use. or use the window locator on the menu bar.
	this is only a few of the MANY features that Servant has. It 
	should appear towards the end of Summer and Andy said that it may
	only work work on Macs that have the 128k roms as Servant will be
	able to so more if Andy doesn't have to worry about trying to make
	it run on 64k roms.
