[net.micro.mac] Finder 5.3 Feature

baron@runx.OZ (Jason Haines) (09/19/86)

I am using Finder 5.3 in conjunction with System 3.2. Tonight, I was holding
down the option key to avoid exiting to the MiniFinder, when I discovered
that if I held it down long enough, when the Finder puts the online volumes
onto the DeskTop, it had closed all the previously open open windows
associated with the online volumes.

Is this an old feature that I have overlooked in the past?

With the introduction of Finder 5.x, holding down the option key while
closing any window or while the Finder starts up will close all of the
windows.
