If you're moving a lot of desk accessories, add a resource of type LAYO, 
id 129, to Font/DA Mover itself. (If you feel more comfortable putting it
in your System file instead, that will work too.) If FDAM3.8 finds such a
resource (it doesn't matter what it contains, if anything!), it will invert
the defaults: DA mode if no option key; fonts if option key.

By the way, if it make you feel better, I really regret not adding
disables of some sort for the "are you sure?" box, and the "Stuff added 
under Multifinder may not appear until you restart" box. However, for the 
adventurous at heart, I left the Macsbug symbols in: you can patch out
the calls to AYSALERT (for the "are you sure?" box) in REMOVEDACCS
and REMOVEFONTS, and the first call to DOALERT in COPYFONTS and COPYDACCS 
(for the MultiFinder warning box). Of course, the usual caveats apply:
don't do this to your only copy of FDAM3.8, please don't give the hacked
version to unsuspecting naive users, etc.
