I recently saw a note somewhere on this net (and can't find it now that I want to) about an application that would launch the application given as its "document". This allowed one to make a hierarchical menu of apps with INITs such as Now Utilities MultiMaster (with the minor negative factor that you can't specify documents for the "hierarchically launched" applications). Does anybody know of this app and how I can get it? Thanks. -- =Spencer W. Thomas EECS Dept, U of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 spencer@eecs.umich.edu 313-936-2616 (8-6 E[SD]T M-F)

Seems my original query was not clear about what I want. Here's a second try: Here's the picture: I bought Now Utilities (for Super Boomerang). It comes with an application launcher/switcher INIT (like OnCue or HandOff) that will drop a "menu" of applications. You can attach documents to each application, and you then get a submenu that lets you launch the application with a specific document: | MacWrite | ------------ | Microsoft Word > | | Other... | | Persuasion | | Paper | | Photoshop | | xyzzy | | SuperPaint | ------------ With the number of applications I like to have available, the menu can get pretty long. I saw somewhere recently (I thought on the net) a reference to a program that launches its "document". I could name a copy of this program "Games", and then have a menu like this: | Draw | ----------------- | Games > | | Canfield | | MacWrite | | Forty Thieves | | Microsoft Word | | Shanghai | | Persuasion | | Tetris | | Photoshop | ----------------- Does anybody know of this program and where I can find it? -- =Spencer W.
