Science Center Lines: 20 Summary: [] 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? -dan
