If you're fed up of breaking into the debugger under MultiFinder and finding yourself looking at the wrong application heap, here's a handy trick: Make sure the application you're interested in is frontmost, and hold down the mouse button over the menu bar (it doesn't have to be over a menu) while you reach with your other hand to press the interrupt button. The application will be sitting in the call to MenuSelect, and no other application will have a chance to run.
