It would be really nice, I think, if one could set some sort of flag in the
finder that would cause any application run from any disk to terminate by
returning to the finder it left from.

That is, if I'm running the Finder on disk 1, and I call an application on
disk 2, the program should terminate by running the Finder on disk 1, even if
there is a System and a Finder on disk 2.  Ideally, the application should
behave as if there were no System or Finder on disk 2.

This would be very useful right now when you're using a RamDisk, and will
be a necessity, I think, when the Finder will be in ROM.

Does anyone have a way of doing this now, or does someone have to write yet
another version of the Finder?  Apple, are you listening?  Could this be
a feature in the next Finder release?
