There is a nifty INIT called On Que that does essentially this. A pop-up menu is installed into the upper right hand corner of the menu bar. You can configure the menu to contain any number of applications to be acces- sible for instant launch. Documents for the applications are installed in submenus so that they will automatically be opened if selected. With- out Multifinder On Que attempts to quit the current application in the usual way, allowing you to save changes, etc. Under Multifinder the cur- rent application is sent to the background when a new app is launched.
